I think my kids will also have fun working in the garden.

I bet they would love it! We started a small garden years ago, mostly because Dustin was sure that growing food was some horridly complicated process. We enjoyed it so much we expanded and kept going.

He was never so excited as the year he found out we could make our own pickles! LOL! Unfortunately, we have a deer problem here so we're giving up on corn. But we can grow zucchini and cucumbers like nobody's business.

We had one in our old house when the kids were little, and they enjoyed it then. They ate more salads than they ever have in their life! The garden was off to the side of the yard, and wasn’t the main focus of the yard.

I’ve been resistant to put one in the new house because the only real place is a strip of dirt between our pool and our grassy area. It’s literally the middle of the yard.

I try to plant flowers there, but half the time it ends up being dirt, so I’m just going to use it for a garden. It will be prettier than dirt, and much more functional. I also want to add a lemon tree.
