Working with dirt and spades and weeds is a great way to bond with family. My mother and I have a plot in the backyard and we spend time weeding and harvesting. My older cousins have a bigger plot and all three of us cut up and goof off when it comes time to take care of anything that needs to be done.
Growing produce, be it vegetables or fruits, or even just taking care of a flower plot can lead to, as my silly cousin Christophermichael call it, "bonding of the family sort." Growing helps the community, the local economy of a region, and even the family ties that keep us sane.
