The funny colors just add spice to the experience. Bean seeds are big enough for children to handle easily. Purple Queen' is a bush bean variety that doesn't require support. They turn green when cooked. The variety called 'Easter Egg' produces a mix of red, purple and white radishes and matures in just 30 days.
Children can sow seeds directly into the Garden.
If the sprouts seem crowded after the seeds have germinated, thin them out. Yellow pear' is a cherry tomato that produces loads of sweet, bite-sized yellow fruits. Children enjoy picking and munching them right from the plant. Tomato plants are available at this time of year in nurseries and Garden centers. They are edible and also make great seasonal decorations for fall.
