I bought a Nintendo video game for them last Christmas but they seem to be less interested in it than other friends of them, fortunately. What my daughter is interested in is helping me in gardening, especially in harvesting while my son is into playing baseball belonging to a baseball club of his primary school.
Today my daughter asked me to take to my garden and to let her harvesting summer vegetables.

| I found some deformed egg-plants while most of them are healthy. I should water more for them. |

| My daughter is nipping a cucumber. |

| Are you trying to hog the cucumber? |
My green chili trees, planted in the end of June, are having many mature fruits. Grilled the chili with sliced beef is a favorite of my family.
My purple okras are also growing healthily with many buds. Purple okra is originated in Okinawa where I've found the locals used the okras in various dishes. You can see their purple stems, which is different from normal green okras.
Watering is my daughter's favorite job. I know she enjoy seeing rainbow in a shower,,,,,.

How do you prepare your eggplants Takaeko? They look wonderful!
You are so so lucky to have such a good garden helper! She is an absolute doll!
Nintendo versus Gardening? A tough choice! I'm happy for you that your daughter has already developed such a keen interest in something that will probably turn out to be a life-long hobby.
Such a lovelyharvest! So good to have your daughter in the garden with you.

Well, I always pay attention to avoid injury by continuous cropping when I grow solanaceous plants like egg-plants, tomatoes, and potatoes. And watering everyday is important to grow crispy and delicious egg-plants.

Yeah, Robin. Actually, she is so helpful that I can leave watering to her. I hope she'll learn cooking them in near future.

I thought Nintendo would have erode her interest in gardening but now I'm worrying over nothing. Sometimes she likes playing Nintendo with her friends but she knows the video games are fiction. She seems to love gardening in the real world.

Big harvest! I can see how big those veggies are when your cute daughter holds it.
I have that variety of eggplant too.
