Veggie garden fun

Best way to get kids to eat veggies is get them involved in growing them!

If you are not a gardener I can assure you veggie gardening is easy. 
My only tips are
- Start with something simple (I started with 4 different veggies at once which was too many!)
- Start with a good soil base (mix some good organic potting mix in with your soil before you start)
- Make sure they get lots of water.

For about $3 we bought a punnet of Cauliflowers, some turned to seed but most grew well and we had many evenings with home grown Cauliflower for dinner, much cheaper and tastier than what you buy from the shops.

The best part was getting the kids involved.  When we harvested our first Cauliflowers, my son (who has refused to eat Cauliflower since he was a bub and it was pureed) ate it raw straight from the plant.  Who would have thought veggies have become one of our best home made toys yet!

Can't wait for our carrots and celery to finish growing!.
