I took pictures of the tomatoes and peppers growing in the greenhouse, but I switched printers and I can't seem to get them off of my memory card....I'll keep working on it .
Kids working on the farm. It's a topic that is getting alot of attention right now with legislators and the farming community. We have always had the pleasure of having our children with us as we get our work done on the farm. They help feed animals, pick fruits and veggies (sometimes they eat more than they pick), many times it's not even working, it's just being with mom and/or dad while they are working. Some are saying that it is dangerous and they are working on making it illegal for our children to care for any animals on the farm, use any equipment, and drive tractors.
I can't imagine not having our children by our sides as we work. Accidents can happen, yes, but accidents can happen anywhere and at anytime, whether it is on the farm or not. Bicycles, skateboards, rollerskates, horses, dirbikes, they can be dangerous also. We as parents take every precaution to make sure our children are safe when we have them with us.
Our children are now grown and I expect to have grandchildren in the next few years. It will be very important to us to teach our grandchildren about farming and our way of life. We a few...only about 2% of the population of this world feeds 100% of the population. We need to teach our children this way of life. It is a great way to grow up...I know my kids loved being part of something that almost no one else in their school could say that they were part of.
