Built a raised garden bed with my son

We made a 4x8 ft garden bed from cedar this weekend and he helped measure, cut, and screw everything together. He's 7 and I was skeptical he'd stay interested but he was so proud of himself when we finished. Now we're planning what to plant. Such a good weekend project honestly.

Cedar is the way to go. Lasts way longer than the pine beds. Your son's gonna remember doing this project for years. That's solid parenting right there.

This is awesome. We built ours last spring and my kids were so proud seeing it every day. Plus they actually help water it unlike yard work.

4x8 is a great size. How long before he got bored with helping? Mine made it about 10 minutes before wandering off.
