What Vegetables and Fruit to Grow With Your Kids
The best are those that:-
- Are easy to sow, especially those with large seeds like courgettes.
- Germinate quickly, to keep those short attention spans occupied.
- You can sow in situ, so you do not have the trouble of transplanting.
- Produce a crop quickly.
- Require minimum maintenance other than watering and feeding.
- Will continue cropping.
Grow food that you know your children already like or food you have a good chance of persuading them to eat. Vegetables and fruit that you can eat straight from the plant, such as strawberries and tomatoes are always a hit with kids. My kids eat peas as if they were sweets.
Here are a few listed below
Courgettes – One plant loads of courgettes.
Carrots - Go for the crunch and the fun of pulling up roots.
Tomatoes – straight from the plant, delicious.
Pea Shoots – a quick nutritious salad crop.
Cut ‘n’ Come Again Salad – you cut it grows.
Strawberries - they will taste better than shop brought ones
Blueberries – a superfood on your doorstep.
