Reap what you have sown!

I read a little quote the other day - "we create life with our love and destroy it with our desires!", (this is the translation as it was in french).  I try to always keep it in mind, as the balance between letting your children do what THEY want and what YOU think is best for them is a very difficult one. 

Tino and Papy Bob sowing Swiss Chard seeds

It's the nature or nurture question!  do you recolt what you have sown or is it just pot luck?  In all honesty I think I swing towards nurture's (is that a word?) side. 
Anyways I hope to soon enjoy a delicious lunch of swiss chard (simmered slowly with new pots and sherry) in the good and lively company of my boys;  happily recolting what I have sown.
