Gardening With Your Kids
There is nothing like experiencing the outdoors with your kids and one of the best things you can do with children is garden. Most people make the mistake of getting the kids involved during planting but kids love to get dirty and there is nothing as dirty as turning up the soil. My boys had more fun in the soil prep then just about anything else except for when the plants start coming up. Of course, you need to be the type of parent who is okay with dirt getting between toes, in the ears and everything else in between.
Once you share this part with kids they are more apt to jump in for the other parts; planting, weeding and harvesting. Kids also love to experiment so try vertical gardening and gardening in raised beds. These are all ways to see what you can do and grow and they will love it too. Who knows, you might also get a small greenhouse and see if you can grow a few thing during the winter months? After all, it is about the fun and learning that is most important.
