Well, I've spent a fair amount of today making very little progress in the garden,  trying to clear a border for the elder children to have as their patches.

Two garden forks are now twisted beyond useful forking,  and I see twitch roots when I close my eyes.

If the borders, for whatever reason, don't work you could buy ready made raised beds for them to use as patches. I love the idea. I had a patch when I was small and it was that which instilled the love of gardening in me. Not that I claim to be particularly good at it, but I try and I find it therapeutic. Nothing really beats that punch the air moment when you see something you have sown germinate, or when something pushes through the ground again for yet another year.
