I first published this video two years ago as the warm season garden commenced. It’s inspiring and worth a repeat. But if you’re starting a garden for the first time this year, start small.

A YEAR IN THE GARDEN: (One year in 4 minutes)

A time lapse of one family’s attempt to learn to grow their own food.

My family was just about to start our first full season in our local community garden when I decided it would be fun to document our growing attempts. Our motivation was simple… grow organic, healthy food… spend time together, teach my daughter where food really comes from, cut our grocery bill. Plus, as I found out, digging in the dirt is very therapeutic. And when it comes to picky kids…If they grow it, they will eat it!
