Kiddo garden!

You could use a clover as ground cover. A couple small patio variety cherry tomatoes make good eating! They can be left in pots, too. Don't forget some marigolds.

Tomatoes are definitely on the list!

Oh! That reminds me of what we did with carrots.

Start regular carrot seeds in a seed starting tray. As soon as the seedlings have a few leaves they already have a hugely long taproot that is the thickness of a hair.

Take them out to the garden and plant them. However you put that hair taproot in the ground is how it will grow.

right, i think you need a deep cell type to do them well from starts.

Only if you are wanting them to grow straight.



If that taproot is put into a hole as a spiral, you then get a spiral carrot.

I always wanted to try one year to make them into letters...... haven't.


Also... I really like all of the edible flowers.

We really like nasturtiums, they love our cool weather.

Calendula are also nice. Rip the flowers apart and sprinkle in a salad or sandwich.

Nasturtium leaves are great on hamburgers instead of lettuce.

We like them diced and tossed into scrambled eggs.

Oh, and I really like chives. The flowers are great in salads, or put on a smoked salmon dip. Pretty as well as tasty.
