Somehow that entire article (May/June 2008) was lost, never to return again. Even though I'm not much of a gardener myself, I spoke about the joys that may be found in taking the time for you and your children to grow things together. Surely, growing vegetables and flowers will yield blessings for your family, and not all in the form of botanical growth. See the harvest that comes in the parent/child relationship as well. The next time planting season comes around, I urge you to get out there with the kids, the seeds, and the spades! Then, reap.
I have gone to seek and to find the tremendous sites that were included in that article. I think I found most of them plus a few others that were suggested by some readers. I'll just list them, without the comments about each that were included for the newsletter.
