What fun! I wanted to do a sunflower fort this year but didn’t get around to it. Magical forts and toads – what an idyllic childhood.

I love how you’ve turned it into something so magical. It’s that enthusiasm makes it all so memorable. My oldest started her own garden and loves to go out EVERY day and to see how much it’s grown. I love that about her.

I’ve never heard of a ‘bean fort’. This is SO amazing. I am sad that our recent drought and the poor nature of the soil at our ‘new’ house has all but killed the gardener in me. Back in the UK I loved my little tiny garden. Here, I am overwhelmed with the magnitude of the task

can’t wait to see how this project turns out — even if your kids aren’t that excited about it .
