Oh yeah, from the age of 7 or 8 til about 16 or so, i've had such a "garden" at my country house.
It's so much healthier and rewarding to go out to your garden and get a tomato, onion, cabbage or even watermelon.
Ok, i can't remember all the vegetables i had back then, but it was quite a crop for only me and my mom
We even had a schedule:
Morning: Eat, work on the "crop".
Afternoon: Eat, relax... read a book or something.
4-5 PM: Work on the "crop".
7-8 PM: Water the "crop".
Dinner, sleep and all that again on the next day
