On the Forum: Who is Gardening This Year?

"Do you plant a garden? I am again this year -- missed last year (pregnant with twins doesn't lend itself to bending over and playing in the dirt.) I planted cucumbers, watermelon, cantaloupe, and green beans today. Will plant more of each in 2-4 weeks to stagger them a little. I'll also be planting tomatoes, onions, and several types of peppers. Ashley loves to help, and is actually quite good help! The boys were in the garden over the weekend with me, but they just managed to try eating a little dirt."

Are you starting a garden this year? What do you have planted and how do you get your children involved? Share your garden ideas with other parents on the forum or leave a comment.
