[Sunflower Kit]( Please check out this story in the current issue, entitled “A Heartwarming Harvest”—it’s sure to touch you and give you the joy you deserve:  [A Heartwarming Harvest]( The special way my little girl helped me garden. By Barbara Kodner  Read by Pat and Becky Stone [IMAGE]( What could be in this big box?” asked Beth, my adult daughter, as she started to open it. “It’s not my birthday or anything.” “I know,” I replied, “but it’s just the perfect time for it.” She lifted out a big harvest basket. “The orange basket!” she exclaimed. “Mom, really?!! This is perfect!” She gave me a big, long hug. Later, as Beth got ready to drive away with the orange basket in her car, my mind traveled back a few decades. Decades ago, when our children were young, my husband and I finally had our first vegetable garden. After eight years of apartment living (two with the U.S. Army stationed in Germany), we bought our first house. We figured that a 40’ x 40’ plot in our sunny, flat yard would provide ample vegetables for us and our three small children. We started with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, green beans, lettuce, and eggplant. My husband sprouted the seeds indoors and tilled the plot. But, with his busy career as a surgeon, he was mostly absent from the day-to-day gardening. In other words, the weeds were left to me. Naturally, I enlisted help from our children. At that time, they were really too young to do big weeds. They excelled at pulling out the emerging ones—their little fingers could deftly slide between tiny stems and uproot anything growing outside of my straight line of seedlings. As Summer progressed, my three little ones were eager to pluck ripe tomatoes or reach under leaves to find the green beans or cucumbers. (No one wanted to pick the eggplant.) There was a lot to harvest, so I purchased a very large wire basket to convey our vegetables from the garden to the kitchen. I bought the top model: it had two sturdy handles and its wire mesh was encased in soft orange plastic to protect the fragile bounty. Summer in St. Louis also brought high temperatures and humidity. I began venturing out to the garden only in the comparatively cool 70s of the morning. My children mostly opted to stay in the air-conditioning. Charles, our 11-year-old son, had allergies; Beth, our 5-year-old daughter, quickly melted in the heat; and Molly, well, she was only 3. Their job now was to set a timer and bring me a drink of water every half-hour. However, when it was Beth’s turn to be the water girl, she devised her own way of helping me in the garden. [IMAGE]( She climbed up our swing set, sat atop the slide, and sang, “This song is brought to you by the letter N, for nice, new, nest. But never say no.” [Read More...]( Illustration by Heather Graham  What a sweet and touching story! You must read the rest of it.
