how about now? My son and I grow hops and make beer a few times a year as a hobby and a bonding time. He's married and starting a family but we still try to get together and spend some time. He also loves gardening. I had him poking holes and planting seeds when he was just able to walk. Now he does square foot gardening in his small back yard. It doesn't take much space to grow and it's very rewarding.
Started composting this year, used some boards from our stairs which I replaced because they were warped and squeaking. So the wood was free. The top came from an old shed that I converted to a greenhouse so that was free too! My backyard chickens do a great job of turning the pile!

Nice pics. Thanks. I was not able to get grand kids interested. I have one daughter who is always noodling around with gardens. My other daughter was gung ho to do sq. ft. gardening.
She gave me a book on it, and I did it. First time I ever managed to grow anything without killing it before harvest. LOL.
The ironic thing is she had a bed built and I bought a bunch of dirt, compost, seeds, etc. but she never got around to planting anything.
