Gardening is great with the little ones. Our daughter used to enjoy it. She started a packet of assorted cactus seeds when she was 4. That was 23 years ago. We still have 4 cactus going, one is a fishhook cactus that is as big as a basketball. Teaching your kids about where food especially veggies come from is great.
If they have gardens, it will be an unbroken chain for my family. Farmers all the way back to the old country! Well, countries lol.
