Carrots, Peppers and Cotton Candy?

We are trying a new adventure this summer - vegetable gardening. We rented a plot from our neighborhood community garden. I figured a $10 plot fee was a whole lot cheaper than attempting to make our own garden bed at home.

With the help of a friend who drew up a garden plan for me, I wrote up my shopping list and we visited a large nursery to buy our plants. This nursery is very well-known in the area and recently moved to a new location. It is like the Disneyland of nurseries - they even have a carnival concession trailer located inside their store. Upon entering the store, Allison spotted the cotton candy at the concession stand and said "ohhh..cotton candy."  Amelia quickly responded with "Cotton candy plant!! Where???" She was a little embarrassed when she realized her mistake; however, she then thought that was the funniest thing and quickly came up with all these stories about how she would sneak out of the house to eat treats from her "cotton candy plant."

For now, the girls will have to make due with peppers, peas, spinach, etc. from our garden (if anything actually grows that is) and cotton candy from the cotton candy machine from my childhood that we are still using.
