We have tried to teach the boys were the produce we eat comes from since they were tiny - having a father in law who is a dairy farmer really helps. So we grow veg in our small garden.
After coming out of hospital MadDad decided that I needed raised beds to make this more accessible this year and set to work with his trusty saw and transformed some old planks of wood in to 3 fantastic raised beds. We are now beginning to see the fruits of his labours.
We planted cabbage, cauli, broccoli, kale, chard, spinach, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions, leeks, beans, peas, pumpkins, courgettes and strawberry's in our little beds.
It is wonderful watching them eat all the food we have grown and also the amazement as they see things grow before their very eyes.
They each help water the plants and take responsibility for their own pot of sunflowers - feeding them and watering them too.
I am very lucky in that both the boys love eating veg, but this introduces new veg to them very easily and we are having ratatouille for lunch
