  1. depending on the plant one can hear the disbursement of the seeds such as lupines. great video now I wonder if these pets are better then pet rocks ? ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. It's such a challenge for parents let alone their children in a society where we expect instant results. Whereas, growing your own is a slow paced project. Good that you have talked about it. Growing sprouts and pea shoots with children is good too as it shows the quick results!

  3. Good points Huw! I try to get my daughter involved in everything i do in the backyard garden. Are you familiar with my FB and youtube channel? I know i have "Liked" your page to support your gardening journey. I enjoyed this video – we do need to get kids of all ages involved in Gardening. Especially with all the problems of the world. Good job Huw!

  4. Hollyhocks have edible petals and pretty bright flowers. Still, they are supposed to be rather mucilaginous and not super-tasty. I guess, in the wintertime, kids could grow lentil and mung bean sprouts–indoors in jars. Or maybe mushroom kits in the damp cellar? I like the nasturtiums that climb. The dwarf ones they sell don't climb, but if you save their seed for a couple of years, they usually have offspring that start climbing again! Scarlet runner beans have pretty red flowers… ๐Ÿ˜‰

  5. Do you grow Jerusalem Artichokes? You can get the tubers from the supermarket, and the pretty baby sunflowers are edible and can be cooked–just like "artichokes". ๐Ÿ˜‰
