    Sally, I love reading about other people growing veg and hope that one day I'll find the energy to do it myself! I think it's good for kids to learn about where the food comes from too.

    Skint its my real aim
    a) to save money
    b) to get DD out of the house in the fresh air burning some calories :) and me too
    c) just to enjoy not having to buy veg/fruit from tesco
    d) get DD interested in food and eating a better diet

    I've never had any problems getting DS to eat veg but we were watching some kids show on tv and some of the kids were really picky but after they grew things in the garden they were dying to eat them! used to grow peas and rhubarb with my dad but hoping to learn some more this year.
