Sunday we harvested our first crop from the garden! We had two square feet of spinach to harvest, so Hailey and Rich went to town while I worked with the dogs and the invisible fence. Tank and Dixie have it down, but Jack still gets a little too excited and runs out of the yard unintentionally.
I think Hailey had more fun harvesting than she did planting. However, I was shocked when she wanted to eat the spinach leaves after I washed them off. She took each one by the stem and chewed the leaf off, leaving a pile of stems on the counter. We made some English muffin pizzas with a side of spinach for dinner, but this time she dipped the leaves in some ranch:)
We are replanting spinach so that in a few weeks we'll have more! Lord knows we eat our weight in spinach around here.....probably 4 cups a day and that much or more in mixed greens.

| Everyone was in on the action. And yes, that is Jack's hair in the background....more on the Furminator later!! |

| Did I mention the great location of this garden? At the base of our screened porch! |
