Growing veg with LO
My LO is 17 months and although he wouldnt understand growing veg now I think by the summer he will kinda get the concept - maybe. haha at least the watering then picking etc
can you grow veg in summer? what is best for june/july time? when do you have to plant from? (im not v good with these things)

You've made me want to do it now so I may pop to the garden centre this arvo.

I remember doing this as a child
what about windowsill herbs in baked bean cans? you can also do chillis in them too. Courgettes will grow whatever you do to them!
we already do lots of feeling plants and being gentle to them, Isabelle has always played in the garden, and if she rips the heads off my azaleas this year and eats them I will plant her! She loves the textures, the pussy will is in flower at the moment, and she loves stroking the buds.
Think what I am trying to say is start the respect and being used to handling them now, and the growing will be easy! We love going to NT gardens, there is a fab sensory one near us that has loads of low level stuff, and smelly bits etc, could you visit somewhere like that?

He loved the whole concept & would check each morning to see if his plants had grown. Unfortunately the tomatoes didn't survive as they got forgotten when DS2 arrived but one of the sunflowers grew & he would water it every time we went out to play in the garden.
They don't take much work and grow really well.
