Basically the title says it all. How does your family garden together?
We do a lot together, but I want more
I have a very keen 9 year dd who loves to help sow, transplant and harvest. My son is nearly 16 and will dig and labour, built a large fish pond so we get frogs and newts as well, however he much enjoys eating food cooked rather than growing it. My oldest is completely disinterested until the salad and tomatoes start cropping than its like she is at her own personal All you can Eat buffet 
My husband, my poor old husband.. Loves dahlias, but gasp, I prefer vegetables.. So hubby gets to labour, and plan, while I happily sow and grow ignoring what he request and growing what we need instead.. He has grumpily allowed me to mulch the last few years, but is steadfastly refusing to convert to no dig - I am aiming to pinch the 2 beds bordering the social garden area and sneakily convert them.
Mr Mamz and my son have been a wonder through as this house and garden was derelict and completely overgrown when we bought it. So slowly we have been creating our forever garden - we have veg area, greenhouse, patio, play area, wild bird and hedgehog area, fish pond... It has changed so much x

He does have a few, but we have loads of flowerrs, hedging and vegetables here, and I refuse to have just beds and beds full of Dahlias.
