哈哈的Potato和Raspberry

When Ha was in the first grade, his teacher taught them to plant the potato, so he asked me to get a potato from the market for him to plant. We cut it in half and put them in the water, and at the end, one got sprout and the other one died. Ha planted the good one in our backyard, and it started having a lot of leaves. We are not professional farmers, so we didn't know a lot about planting the potatoes, and we didn't know when to harvest, so we just left them there. One day, I found a very tiny potato, and I thought that the potato plant was not good because it only grew tiny ones. I tried to dig the whole thing out and plant some other vegetables, and while I was digging, bigger potatoes came out! However, the biggest ones got sprout again, so I put them back under the ground because we couldn't eat the potato with sprouts. That night, I cooked our potatoes, our one and only carrot and some meat, and we enjoyed that dish very much because it was from our backyard.

This week, every night, Ha made smoothies for us. In the afternoon, he cut apples, peaches, golden kiwi, our pears into small pieces and put them in fridge. At night, we blended his mixed fruit and our raspberries and yogurt ,and each one can drink a cup of smoothies. Our raspberries are really good because Ha bought a little plant in 2008 for about $2, and it just grew into many many many many plants by itself. Now, we have more than 20 raspberry plants, big and small, and every day, we are able to eat fresh raspberries.

Ha really got green fingers. One of his sunflowers is taller than I am. I'll take a picture of it later.
