I would have loved my children to have that experience, but alas, it was a different existence by then. Only now is my eldest son along with his wife, seeing the value in growing their own food. A win for Mum at last...lol! It's a valuable life skill I think.

Glad to see it has made its way up to Qld. They are doing a hell of a lot better than the Year 8 & 9 across the road from my house. There's is pathetic attempt and i want to run over the road and fix it up on weekends. Pity its secured. like the school, by a 2.5m fence with security. I wonder would they like some worm wee (she says after offering it to everyone and sundry. I've a bit of a glut since unblocking the pipe.
