You have really put a small space to great use. I think it is important for children to know how much patience and effort it takes to put food on the table. Many children only know that food comes from the grocery store and have no clue that it has to be grown some where.

I wish I knew how to add more photos to this...You really can't get a good view as to what I have planted on all sides of the property...I'll figure it out at some point.
