Well Done 
And you know your kids will have far less nasties in them too! It's a great feeling, but it addictive y'know. You'll start looking at their (& your) plates & wondering how much of it you grew & want the answer 'all' every time!

Re: well proud of myself
It is such a great feeling to eat the stuff you have grown yourself. And they definitely taste better!
You are right to be proud.

Re: well proud of myself
RD, how old are you little ones? Can they 'help' with a pot of compost & a few seeds of their own? I guarrentee they'll eat what ever they've grown then...
Start them off with summat quick like salad leaves, then maybe those stubby-type carrots in a bucket.

Well done! Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
