The more I garden with my son, the more my love for gardening itself grows.
Seriously.
Last weekend, Luke and I prepared an area -- where we just harvested garlic -- and planted four hills of acorn squash and pumpkin.
We pulled back the old mulch, shaped the hills, and Luke helped me push the seeds into the ground. He was an awesome helper.
Gardening with kids is so cool, because they light up when they reap the benefits of their work. Luke was so excited to see two of the pumpkin seedlings have already emerged last night as we were taking stock. And he makes a beeline for the peas, and snacks on them happily.
It just takes some patience to garden with kids, especially ones so young. But you know what, it's so worth it. People in public always marvel at how Luke eats his vegetables without complaining. He doesn't love every vegetable, but he is starting to understand where they come from, and his curiosity is all I ask for.
