Built a raised garden bed with my 6yo and it actually didn't fall apart

Spent Saturday afternoon with my son building a 4x8 raised bed in the backyard. I was expecting it to be a disaster but he actually helped drill holes and we got it level enough. Filled it with soil and he picked out tomato and pepper seeds. Now he checks on it every morning before school. Best 3 hours I've spent in a while honestly.

That's awesome man. Those moments where they actually step up and help instead of just watching YouTube are gold. Your son's probably gonna remember that forever.

This is the kind of thing that sticks with kids. Plus now he'll actually care about what you plant in there since he built it. Win win.

Nice work getting him involved with the drill. My boys are always asking to help with stuff like that but I usually chicken out thinking it'll be a mess. Might have to try this with them.
