Our First Harvest of Kang Kong (Water Spinach)

Yes! It is our first attempt and we are successful! Samuel got to sow kang kong seeds early spring and now he gets to harvest them. He was really excited.
Here's the basketful of kang kong. It was quite a lot and surely enough for the three of us!
And amazingly they tasted so tender and delicious! Even better than those from the market. What's better, they cost less than A$2 and are organic!
I sneaked a shot of Marco enjoying his grass after a meal of salmon fish.
The sweet corns are growing taller than Samuel.
And we got our pleasant surprise this evening. They are all having corns!!! It is so wonderful to be able to plant our own veges and I feel very glad that my son has this chance to be out in the garden surrounded and learning about plants and veges and herbs and flowers. It just reminds me of my childhood, exposed to all kinds of fruits and veges that Grandma planted. What great blessings!!!
The two spagetti squash vines are fruiting. About 6 squashes in all. I wonder how they taste like.
