Most little boys like to play with tractors and wagons.
They like to pretend they're truckers, too. But not many get to haul around things that are actually useful and help with the family's livelihood. It's different at John and Laurie Whitman's family farm north of Wellington, where gardening is a family thing. The four young men in the family now range in age from 12 to 15, but as soon as they could walk they started to haul garden produce in their wagons. For several years, the family raised five acres of sweet corn as well as an acre of other vegetables, selling them at the Master Gardeners' Farmers Market in Fort Collins.
