When our children were 5, 2 and new born we lived in Country Queensland, we were next door to an old farmer, He taught me what and when and how to set up my vegie patch.... ( I had a half acre back garden with rich black soil ) My children ALWAYS had fresh vegetables on the dinner table, and just a couple of years ago my eldest son ( A chef in London ) had a write up in a professional publication and mentioned ""Dads vegie patch""
