After reading your reply, I thought back to the past of my own family. One thing that stands out, is when the daughter and I were in the garden digging dirt for the fall veggies. She wasn't much of a veggie eater back then, but is now.

We dug and dug, put down some compost, piled the dirt onto a bed and turned it all upside down. Then, we put leaf lettuce seed into the dirt and raked the bed. After the plants grew up and we had fresh veggies, she went “YUCK. all that work for this?”

Now, she actually eats a lot of salads, and loves coming home to fresh lettuce from the garden. Fresh out of the garden tomatoes are an endangered species at my house. They do NOT go bad.

Now that the boys are grown, they love having their own little ‘garden’ even if it’s just a pot of herbs or a patio tomato until they own a little land of their own. :)

You gotta plant the seeds and have patience. Then, years later you get to see what blooms. :)
