One thing I discovered at a very young age was that gardening was fun! My dad had a large plot for gardening, and it would always be full of plants. I remember when my dad let me plant some of the vegetables in the garden, it was pretty exciting. Now as a parent im doing the same with my son, and he definitely enjoys himself. If your planning on introducing your kids to gardening make sure you keep it short and sweet. Depending on their attention span you could elaborate on why you add compost or why centain plants need more sun than others for example. Be sure to walk them through step by step by keeping it simple and easy to remember. Teaching your kids how to garden is one way for them to appreciate what they eat, especially their veggies.~ mike
