Plant a Family Vegetable Garden

Go online together and research how to create a raised bed garden, or use pots on your porch to plant in. You also can join a community garden and rent a space of land for planting vegetables. However or wherever you grow your vegetables, enjoy nurturing and caring for the seeds as they blossom and yield wonderful delights.

Start small by planting tomatoes, lettuce, basil, onions, squash and green peppers. When your harvest is ready, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! Bring the salt shaker to the garden and eat a sun-warmed tomato right off of the vine. Have a party and make tomato and mozzarella salad with fresh basil, or roast your summer squash with onions for a savory treat. Slice your peppers and eat them with a yogurt veggie dip to enjoy the crisp, delightful taste.
