You can plant vegetables, fruits or flowers with kids. The location of your garden is important. Do some basic research into what fruits, vegetables, and flowers will work best in your state or country and your yard area. Suggestions: tomatoes (need lots of sunlight), zucchini (one plant seems to produce 100s of this prolific veggie), carrots (not as easy to grow as you might think), sweet peppers, broccoli, and cucumbers (fairly easy to grow).
