Anyone else building raised garden beds with kids?

My twins are 6 and they want to grow tomatoes. I'm building three 4x4 raised beds in the backyard this weekend. Never done this before so I'm going with simple cedar and landscape fabric. Has anyone done this with young kids? Any tips for keeping them interested in maintaining it through the summer?

Three beds is ambitious for a first timer but I respect it. Once those tomatoes start coming in, you'll have the best excuse to fire up the grill for some homemade salsa night with the family.

That's awesome man, my boys are similar age and we did something similar last spring. Pro tip: let them get dirty and make mistakes with the soil, they'll learn way more that way. Tomatoes are a great choice for kids.
