Making Space for What Grows Next — Apparently, Ice Cream Is a Gateway Crop 🍦🌱

We’re in that crazy in-between holiday moment where one year winds down, and the next one hasn’t quite taken root yet.

So this week, we did what gardeners do—we prepped the Tower Garden for some new seedlings. Cleaned it out. Made space. Got it ready for what’s next.

Apparently, that empty space sent a different message to a certain little one in the house. 😁

Instead of greens and veggies, the Tower Garden temporarily became home to… ice cream cones. 🍦

You might say it was nature’s reminder to get planting in 2026.

Or it was a sign of support for the new food pyramid.

(Hey, ice cream IS made from whole milk, so it’s gonna be hard to argue with her 😄)

All jokes aside, when growing food is visible, it sparks curiosity, even when it’s filled with imagination instead of seedlings.

Seedlings go in soon. Veggies are coming back.

But for now, I’ll extend a little holiday creativity in the garden.

And don’t worry—the print proof for Macie and the Magic Beans arrives today, which should help get her mind back on green. 🌱😉

Because even ice cream knows when it’s time to make room for what grows next. 🍦🌱
