Field of Dreams

One of my first things on my "To Do List" when we moved into our new home was to plant a vegetable garden in the Spring. I always dreamed of picking veggies right out of my garden to cook delicious healthy meals for David. We began with a modest size eggplant and tomato plant:

We saw the veggies of our labor blossom and even had damaged foliage from hungry little pests:


Then we transferred them into the ground with the new addition of a cucumber plant:

We reaped the benefits of our some-what short Japanese eggplant:
And picked some water stressed tomatoes due to irrigation problems (we will do better next year):
My field of dreams may have only been a plot of dreams and perhaps next year I will come close to a field. But the most important lesson for my children is if you plant it, they will grow.
