There are many different ways to grow more plants. They can grow from cuttings, seeds, seedlings, bulbs or rootstock. Next time you do your fruit and vegetable shopping with your child see if you can predict which ones will have seeds inside. If they have seeds inside you could try and grow them.
Spring has arrived and it’s time to plant new seedlings. Before you plant the next lot of seedlings do you need to add more soil to the pots? Has the soil gradually disappeared leaving the pot half full? How will you go about filling up the pots? Will you buy bags of soil from the garden centre or will you have a trailer load of soil delivered?
Watering the garden and pot plants is a wonderful opportunity for children to play with water and to experiment with measuring and following directions. Set up a visual schedule that shows what time of day the garden and plants will be watered. This could include a photo of a clock with the time on it or you could set a timer to sound when it is time to water the garden.
