It’s never too early to teach your children about where their food comes from, and one of the easiest ways to do that is to plant a garden with them. Whether you have a large plot of land for an expansive garden or are a city dweller who does your gardening in pots, there are plenty of fruits and vegetables you can start growing with your kids. This will not only teach them about the origins of their food but it can also get them excited about eating their fruits and vegetables and trying new ones. Get your children’s garden started with these ten delicious fruits and vegetables that both you and the kids will love to tend to.
1. Strawberries
While strawberries will happily grow in pots, the plants spread and multiply substantially from one year to the next. So, if you have ample space you can develop a significantly larger strawberry patch from one year to the next. Just be sure that at some point you contain the edges so that they don’t take over your entire garden. Kids love plucking these sweet berries straight off the vine for an afternoon snack.
