They must have green thumbs

Here is the evidence of all the work that my love and the little ones have been putting into the veggie patch. Tomatoes, potatoes, thyme, basil, sunflowers, lima beans, corn, green beans, arugula and butter lettuce (plus our sturdy grape vine) will all have their time in the sun.

Note the brown mulch between rows. It is cocoa husks (from the luxury chocolaterie, Soma). The smell after rain or in the baking sun is divine!!!! I swear our backyard smells of chocolate chip cookies or a sweet, glorious bar of milk chocolate. And it is not the Cadbury's factory that we pass on the way to school.
