You really want to pass on your love for gardening to your grandchildren or children but don't quite know where to begin. Finding and selecting a grow kit for kids may be a perfect option to allow them to enjoy the hobby on a smaller scale first. These supplies will have everything they need to begin planting and watering their very own plants.
These will have all that is needed to start a specific type of plant or plants. They usually include soil, seeds, pots and instructions as to the depths to plant them, the amount of sunlight or shade they need, and how soon they will sprout above the soil. How long it will take to produce or to achieve full height will also be given.
Youngsters will be exposed first-hand to what it takes to garden on a very small scale. It will also teach them about the consistency and care needed to bring their plants to fruition. They will be watching them daily to see if they have sprouted out of the soil, and then they will eagerly monitor the seedlings for days on end.
Vegetables are excellent plants to sow as children will be more liable to consume them if they have had a large part in the planting and watering process. Quality vegetables that may be planted include carrots, radishes, beans, peas, or small tomatoes.
There are few types of fruit that can be purchased in these packs, but strawberries might be available. They will make great starters for citrus trees such as limes, tangerines, oranges, lemons, and grapefruit. If the climate allows, you could help them plant these in your backyard either straight into the ground or in large pots. They will get such a thrill when they are able to pick the very first pieces of fruit.
They can also plant herbs. These could include cilantro, thyme, dill, mint, peppermint, rosemary, and oregano, just to name a few that will thrive in small pots. When it is time to cook a meal, the children will be very excited to add their very own seasonings which they have helped thrive in pots. The fresh flavorings will entice them to finish their meal and ask for seconds.
And don't forget, they can even plant flowers. These varieties can include daisies, petunias, marigolds, zinnias or any other type of flower. They can later put them in larger pots and place them on a front porch or back patio for all to enjoy. They will also make a great gift for a shut-in or a grandparent.
Using these small pots will help their interest in gardening immensely. Next year, they can move on to container gardening and grow such plants as larger tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, green beans, and so much more. If you have yard space, you will eventually be able to introduce them to in-ground gardening and have them assist with the compost, the tilling of the soil, the planting, and weeding that it takes to bring these fruits and vegetables to their full growth.
