This summer, the children have been very aware of the vegetables growing in our garden. Each morning the children race over to see if anything is ready to harvest. This particular morning, the children noticed a bright red tomato. AT asks if he can pick it. Hailee helps pick the tomato off the vine. Today happens to be the perfect day to harvest the tomato as our afternoon snack is veggies and dip. We cut up our tomato to add to our snack plate. The children notice all the seeds inside as Hailee cuts it into small pieces. We allow the children to take a piece to taste. AT is excited to try our tomato first. “Its yummy!” he says. EB takes a big bite and then asks for more. KW takes a few pieces and says “I like tomatoes” as she eats them all up. Its so wonderful to be able to grow and eat our own produce here at the centre! We look forward to harvesting more veggies soon!
