W:Jack, how did you get to school when you were in primary school?
M:I lived close to my school, so I walked every day.Why?
W:Well, I remember that when we were kids, we often walked, rode a bike, or caught the bus to school.Few of us were dropped off at the school gate by our parents.
M:I see what you mean.These days you can see traffic jams around schools that drop off and pick up times.But it's hard to blame the parents.They have good reasons for driving their kids to school, mostly to do with safety and convenience.
W:You have a point there, but it could also mean children are missing out on much needed exercise and other life skills.Some parents are just being overprotective, with their children learning nothing, but living in fear of everything.Studies have found that children who spend more time outside tend to be healthier, better adjusted, and better at dealing with stress.

M:I know you grow lots of fruit on your land.Which would you recommend to beginners as the best to grow?
W:Strawberries would be a good choice.They produce a lot of fruit in their first season.

W:Next season, I will be adding some pear trees to the fruit area.I will be adding more herbs, which I can use in the kitchen.And, after a couple of years of failure, I will try growing carrots again.
M:What advice would you offer someone thinking of doing kitchen gardening?
W:Have a plan of what you want your kitchen garden to look like.Don't be too discouraged if things don't go according to plan.Learn from your mistakes and move on.There's always next season.
