Since we had to wait to grow seeds as our greenhouse was broken, we thought we would make up for lost time and plant everything we could find! A great approach to gardening with children by the way - an overspill of enthusiasm and "lets try everything" is better than a slower methodical approach for the under 5's. It's more fun.
However much fun you make planting up seeds, please don't do what we did and write up the labels in pencil...we now have no idea what we are growing as the marks have rubbed off the labels due to watering them...ophs :-)
We'll be learning plant identification through necessity soon, when the seed leaves pop up and we are frantically trying to work out our red onions from our marigolds...can't be that hard!
Pleased with getting some seeds planted up and a 2 weeks later seeing them come up - all this and a complete greenhouse, things are looking good.
