The elder lad has taken upon himself the morning watering duties, all the while doing his level best to keep his baby sister from plucking the unripe fruit from the tomato vines. That's proving to be a mighty challenge.
All the bambini have gotten into the garden-tending spirit, even sampling the fruits of their labors (some more willingly than others). Seeing them out there working alongside their daddy is as sweet a sight as the taste is delicious from the "farm to table" produce just beyond our doorstep.
