So my garden did horrible again this year! We just don't get enough sun at our new house to produce good, well, produce. Lol. I would love to have my kids more involved In The whole process but it seems that they have a different agenda whenever we get outside.
The oldest is at the stage where he doesn't want to do anything himself, he needs help with everything, hopefully going to school soon will help with that. And the little one just wants t eat the dirt or run away! Not at all helpful.
Well, fall is quickly approaching and there will be a lot of cleanup to do. My kids already have their own rakes and gloves so maybe we will put them to good use and they will get more involved? There is always the fun of jumping in the piles when they are all raked if that's the only way to get them excited right now ill take it!
We will try a garden again next year, and I think I will try to grow some herbs indoors this years for use in the kitchen. Hopefully, I can get them to help with the watering and eventually with the trimming and cooking too.
I will add for the green minded we are still eating almost all organic and our kids have both grown up that way. Before my first son started eating solid foods I decided to start to switch over our diet so the transition would be an easy one for him and for us. We are now going on year four and have found tons of organic products we love and use on a regular basis.
One of my favorites of course is the Annie's Mac n cheese, and I'm also a big fan of apple gate farms all natural organic meat products for the summer on the grill! ( I'm a hot dog addict )
The kids also only eat whole wheat, either in pasta, bread, or rice. They have grown up with it and don't know any different, I feel that it is just a much healthier choice than white products, and I am proud to say that they eat them all just fine.
