Gardening

Yesterday we harvested our very first tomato! I found a cluster of four cherry tomatoes starting to change from green to orange, and then I deemed this one lone, tiny tomato ready to pick. I probably picked it a day or two early, but I was excited!
And here are our tomato plants, growing far to close together, in the little cage that I built to protect them from birds and squirrels. I did not anticipate them getting so tall!
Our strawberries are starting to turn red as well. Emily was very concerned for their safety so worked hard to build this scarecrow. I have to stop and do a double-take every time I go outside because I think it's Jacob standing there. It's a little creepy.

 PS - Elinor's drawing from church today.
The tiny person is Elinor being kidnapped by the scary guy.
