A huge reason we started the garden in the first place was to have our kids grow up picking and eating fresh food. At two Sophie was old enough to help pick some veg from the garden and she loved cucumbers and peas!
As all parents know, our children seem to sometimes grow as fast as the garden does. One day they are babies and the next they are walking around the garden talking to you. The garden all of a sudden seemed smaller with three of us and we started to dream of expanding again…I had come across a book called Edible Estates by Fritz Haeg and we imagined what our front yard could become.
As we dreamed of a bigger garden we wanted a way to document the transformation of the front yard, so we started an Instagram and luckily got the name we wanted @frontyardfoodco. At first we didn’t know what to do and weren’t social media savvy. Once again we received the lesson that we just needed to try something and we would eventually learn and figure it out. Paralysis by analysis wouldn’t get us this time. Once again we were grateful for the lessons from the garden, and for the veg!
Gardening is cheaper than therapy… and you get tomatoes!
