I have always been interested in keeping a small garden so when my child showed interest in plants and farming I was overjoyed.

The first opportunity I got, my child and I took a trip down to our local Home Depot to buy supplies to build our first vegetable garden. We got many different kinds of vegetables for us to plant but my son was particularly interested in carrots.

After my wife and I set up our little garden, the carrots were the first thing he wanted to plant. All in all we had a very fun time gardening as a family and the time it took from planting the seeds to harvesting the carrots taught my son a lot of about patience.
