Eli is obsessed with the food growing in our yard (oh, that makes me so happy!) He loves to go in search of ripe (mainly semi-ripe) tomatoes. Every night he points to the hanging baskets and wants to find a strawberry. There is almost always at least one strawberry, which makes him squeal with excitement :) And yes, our garden does look like a jungle -- not just to a 19-month-old. Perhaps that's why Eli felt the need to get in his firefighting gear the other day -- he just needs an axe so he can take out the mass of vines and weeds among the tomatoes....
