I spent quite some time in the garden yesterday, finally, after reading your other post - I remembered that I had totally neglected mine. Harvested some dill, and got into a nasty fight with a rose protecting goldenberries. I won. And then I burned dried up rose branches to assert dominance. It was fun :-)

I got 3 cherry tomato plants from a friend today. I have no idea where to put them yet, they need a quite a bit of protection here so they don't get mold (?) on the leaves from humidity. Maybe Lily's balcony. Gotta see tomorrow. 

The plan was to garden a lot more with Lily. But there was always something else. Hopefully, I can include it better next school year.

Some good came out of it!

Are you a fan of those berries? My wife loves them, but I am not so sure. They make good decorations though, with their leaves on.

I think it goes through stages. Smallsteps isn't that keen for more than a few minutes at a time, but occasionally she will put in a couple hours. 

I liked gardening as a kid. One of the few things my mother did with me.

If you're careful, you can take the berries out without breaking the leaves. I like them quite a bit, they're a little sour, and I like sour and bitter things. A friend once made a jam out of goldenberries and rocoto chili, the regional very spicy variant. That was SO good. Sour, sweet and super spicy. I gotta ask him for the recipe, now that I think of it.

Lily likes gardening for a while, but even more she likes helping and planting for a few minutes, than turn it into a game, and then just play and check in with me from time to time while I tend to the plants. But it's been quite a lot of work, finding our groove, and after 2 months with her mom it will be like starting at 50% again. Yet, I remain hopeful. I have 2 months to figure out a new game-plan for one more year of upbringing :-)

(Yes, I take them one year at a time, as I never know what the mom will decide when she feels like it.)
