My dad never made me learn plumbing, but I\u2019m making my kids learn to grow their own food. Growing fruits and vegetables is one of the few skills I have, and I would be neglectful if I didn\u2019t pass it on to my three children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I watched my dad repair plumbing equipment on our driveway, I crawled under the house with him to look at pipes, and when I got in trouble at school he made me join him on the truck to go on calls. I watched him work, but he never explicitly taught me how to install a new sink, to locate a clog in a sewer line, to replace a water heater, to fix a leaky faucet. And by the time I was old enough to recognize how valuable his skills as a plumber were \u2013 25 years old \u2013 he unexpectedly passed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve decided I want to be more forceful with my kids. I\u2019ve been making them learn to sow peas, to harvest potatoes, to water seedlings properly, and to raise chickens since day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two days ago, I rounded them up and took them to the nectarine tree. \u201cYou\u2019re going to learn how to prune a nectarine,\u201d I said. \u201cWhy do we prune fruit trees?\u201d I asked, once at the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re four, six, and seven years old. \u201cSo it doesn\u2019t get in the way of other trees?\u201d said my seven-year old. \u201cSo it makes fruit?\u201d said my four-year old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, good ideas. And imagine if we never pruned this nectarine tree. It would grow as tall as that avocado,\u201d I said, pointing to the 18-foot tall Hass tree behind them. \u201cThen how would we pick the fruit? Remember how soft nectarines are when they\u2019re ripe and juicy and sweet? With a pole picker we would damage them. So I prune this tree to keep it down to my reach, so I can pick every fruit like this.\u201d I mock-picked a nectarine just above my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan I use this?\u201d asked my six-year old, holding a pruning saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, sorry. I\u2019ve already made the big cuts on this tree so now we\u2019ll just use clippers and make smaller cuts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One by one I took them around the tree looking for areas of branches that were too crowded. \u201cAre there any branches that are touching each other? We want some space between the branches so that when the leaves grow they\u2019ll each get sunlight and when the nectarines grow they won\u2019t bonk into other nectarines.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once each kid found a crowded set of branches, they got to make a cut. And we spent a little time talking about cutting just above a lateral branch or cutting just above the branch collar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Miles makes his cut.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

They all enjoyed cutting the branches, but still, as soon as they made their cut they handed the loppers to me and ran over to climb in the avocado tree with their siblings. They weren\u2019t exactly begging to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t expect that. Maybe my teaching method could be improved. I\u2019ll think about that. Most importantly, they\u2019re not going to become adults and then ask me to teach them how to prune a nectarine. I might not even be around to teach them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday morning, Miles (my six-year old) and I were looking on my computer for toys he could buy with the ten dollars he had earned recently. Then we closed the computer and after a minute of quiet he said, \u201cI wonder why toys are more expensive than food when you need food and don’t need toys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is strange how people will spend so much on things they don\u2019t need,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike a whole loaf of bread is like three dollars,” he went on, “but a Lego set that size would be like a hundred dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some reason, his bringing this up caused my mind to recall a man I met about a year ago. This man had contacted me asking if he could hire me to visit his large property in Escondido and help him start a vegetable garden and home orchard. When I arrived, I found a beautiful landscape of palm trees and ornamental plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained to me: \u201cI go to the grocery store and they make me wear a mask in order to enter. I\u2019ve realized that they can starve me by just finding a reason not to let me into the grocery store. I look around at all the palm trees and flowers I have growing here and they\u2019re useless. I need to be watering plants I can eat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t worry much about access to grocery stores, or restaurants, or even garden centers. I can grow my own, I can save my own seed. I know how to forage a little. I know how to raise chickens. I can even shoot and process a cottontail rabbit if I need to. There\u2019s an absence of fear in my life about access to food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost twenty years ago now, I moved to a small country in Africa called Lesotho to work as a Peace Corps teacher in a rural village. The white Land Cruiser of the Peace Corps dropped me off at my home for the next two years, a one-bedroom house on the grounds of a small school surrounded by farm fields off the edge of a small village. No electricity, no running water. No grocery stores around let alone restaurants. I had to learn to feed myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish my dad had made me learn his plumbing skills, or that I’d been smart enough to ask him to teach me. But now the best I can do as a father is teach my kids my food gardening skills, which are in some ways more important. They’ll thank me later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
