Arlene, he's seven now. Guess what finally got him out there and enjoying the work? That's right...they grow food producing plants on a computer game he loves! He's like, "Mom, this is just like what we do on...", and I had to chuckle a bit at how the times have changed. He just recently got into eating whole "pork" and "beef" rather than ground up stuff...for the same reason. Seems they hunt these food creatures down and make use of the different products. So, I guess this one isn't all that strange...at least he's learning something about where stuff comes from, other than just hearing mom and dad say it.

He's excited about the prospect of having his buddies over to pick a pumpkin apiece (or more ) near Halloween.

It's awesome that what you taught your children about gardening stuck in their minds into adulthood. It's great to hear that they're enjoying at least most aspects of it...even now.


I like having container squash! It's way ahead of its in-ground counterparts. I think I'm going to want to add one or two to my yearly must-have's list.
