Sounds fun Andrew! I want to start a small garden/veggie patch with my group of kids. Is yours done out in the playground in a special area? I was maybe thinking of using a few foam boxes with soil etc to set up a little garden on the veranda at the entrance so families can see on arrival etc.  What types of veggies/flowers have you planted?

hi there

foam boxes work really well. Ours are in in playground area off to the side. they are made with sleepers around the edges and are about two metres by 1metre. the dirt is turn regularly.

the best crops are those that grow quick and can be eaten raw. it will happen that they get eaten off the vine as they should. Start with beans, and lettuce. Other crops to do are corn, garlic (a favourite of mine), beetroot and strawberries.

a good site is the Dirt Girl World site. it packed full of info and hints.
