And already she has good taste! Looks like she is bonding with the little veggies, too - Several people in the Growing Challenge last year found that their children were more excited to eat the veggies when they helped grow them. Ah, have something constructive and fun for them to do, tire them out, AND get them to eat vegetables - all with the same activity. ; ) Congratulations!! And already she has good taste!
