[holidaysoon]

grateful for any recommendations, links to other threads or other websites or ideas where to start please

my dh is always n about this but does nothing so i wondered whether it was somethng I wanted to take on

thanks

Courgettes. Sun flowers (not veg but fun). Sugar snap peas.

Pumpkins/squash

Potatoes
Actually anything really. DS is 2 and loves "helping" - we just get him involved in what we're doing.

We've grown lots but DS has particularly enjoyed:
Herbs, especially chives
Strawberries
Potatoes
Leeks
Courgettes/ pumpkin
Tomatoes

Radish!

What do they like to eat? I grow sweetcorn, carrots, broccoli and dwarf peas for the sole reason that the kids like them. I find they're really interested in anything they can just pick and eat right away.

All good ideas thanks
can I ask did you just read the instructions and just do what it said?
what about feeding them? (the veg not the kids)
do you have to buy lots of different feeds

Potatoes work really well for us in pots on the patio!

Fill pot with compost. Push seed potatoes (pound shop ones work fine) into compost - make sure you get mucky hands! Water every couple of days for a few months.

When the green leaves start dying off, you can send your child out to grub around in the soil and collect the potatoes. Store them in the earth and have fresh picked with every meal

Peas are easy, get kid to poke entire finger in the ground, drop a pea in the hole, finger back in the hole to push the pea down, then pat the ground. If it looks dry, water it, use twigs or netting to support the plant, and no need to feed the soil, just eat peas off it all summer ( in fact peas feed the soil themselves so leave the roots in the ground.)
Garlic can go in now, just push cloves in the soil until the tops are just below ground level, leave them be, and when the leaves go yellow in late summer pull them up, and each clove will have magically become an entire bulb.

I wouldn't worry about it too much holidaysoon, just stick 'em in the ground and see what happens! Don't worry about individual feeds either (other than for tomatoes) ideally you need some compost or manure. When I first started off I bought 3 bags of rotted manure for £10 from the garden centre and chucked that all over the veg beds.
