Container gardening at Settlemeier

While its still rainy and cold outside we have been doing planting indoors of some hardy plants and then bringing them outside to the garden. The kids get more and more excited about planting, the more familiar they get with it. If there is any doubt about how to get kids to eat healthy, I am convinced that the answer is to have them grow the food themselves. These kids are completely ecstatic about things like garlic, radishes, spinach and cilantro. More than anything, the kids love to water the plants. Its a good thing the containers drain well!
