My kids look forward to planting their very own garden every year! It has been our tradition for many years, to plant a vegetable garden on Memorial Day. It is a frugal summer activity that helps us bring the farm to the table. They love picking out seeds, helping get the garden ready and planting it.
Planting a vegetable garden is always fun. The kids take pride in their garden and do a great job planting the seeds and labeling each row.
Not only do we grow our own veggies, we grow our own meat as well, cows and pigs!
We also have a friend who has chickens, we get most of our eggs from her!
The rototiller that my husband uses used to be my grandpa's. I remember him using it in his garden when I was a kid!

Planting a garden is so much more that just a garden. Not only is it fun for the kids but it is also a valuable learning experience.
- It teaches them responsibility: they have to water, weed and care for the garden in order for it to grow.
- It teaches them about home farming and its benefits: fresh, organic vegetables that are delicious and healthy!
- It teaches them about community: they enjoy filling their wagon with their fresh picked vegetables and walking to the neighbors house to share their veggies of love!
- It teaches them about teamwork and family: look at what we can accomplish when we work together as a team.
Plus, it is always a fun way to spend valuable time together with them, making lifelong memories!
