Our new place has quite a large piece of land for gardening - well, large for an urban back yard. It's probably average size for the suburbs. Anyway, we've started a garden with the help of our pastor who is, among other things, a prolific gardener. We're growing two kinds of kale, broccoli, green beans, cucumbers, zucchinis, onions, potatoes, corn, peppers, tomatoes and hopefully some raspberries. We also have some cilantro in a pot and will probably do some other potted herbs and whatnot. Only the kale, broccoli and cilantro are in now, but the rest will follow as their planting time arrives.
It's pretty exciting for Avi since he not only gets to garden (he's quite enjoyed stomping about in the mud as well as planting the kale), but grow his own toys. He's enjoyed playing with cucumbers and zucchinis for a while now, but this should save us some money.
Avi hasn't been into the VeggieTales as much since we moved, though. That's in part to his toys being less accessible and also because we're only allowing faster-paced videos a couple times a week. As a consequence, he's been watching the much slower Kipper the Dog. I'm no longer Archibald Asparagus, he now calls me Tiger (a dog). Elizabeth is Jake (a dog) and Theodore is Arnold (a baby pig). Other characters get foisted upon people as context allowed. If you ever visit and Avi says "You're Pig!", don't take offense. You've been honored as a character in Avi's world.
