I met a most fascinating mom the other day
Single
Subsidized housing so no planting digging etc

She got a kiddy pool, put drain holes in it , put it on her patio, filled it with a few bags of dirt, took her kids to the seed rack and let them chose what to plant
Her kids have to farm it this summer

Brilliant idea.
