Planning a Kid Friendly Vegetable Garden

[@VegetableAcademy]

After you've selected the crops you want to grow, you'll need a master plan that organizes them in your garden at the right place at the right time. Head to my FREE WORKSHOP for an introduction to the time-based garden planning technique we use. www.vegetableacademy.com/yt-freeworkshop

Your daughter is adorable. I cannot wait to raise my own children and watch them grow up.

Mixing gardening and outdoor children activities is such a great way to spend quality time with kids! Also teaches them where our food comes from in a tangible way. Not to mention gets them excited to eat veggies! Great video, thanks :)

My kids love potatoes! Eating them but also the harvesting, it’s like digging for treasure. My kids enjoy all of your suggestions as well. Have a good gardening season.

No kids over here, but still found this video enjoyable and helpful for planning. I will just say though - I must be around a decade your junior, but I enjoy time outside in the garden as well as time playing video games 😅

Good video! There needs to be more videos about growing with kids. I find sone crops are easier for kids to sow, sone to harvest, others to weed. For instance: sowing peas or beans can help kids learn measuring. I know from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my pinkie is an 8 inch span. From the first knuckle to the top of my index finger is an inch. Kids hands are smaller, but it increases the awareness of distances for planting. I have found making a marker ( or having kids make a marker) that say’s (example) “Jean’s carrots” gives them a feeling of ownership. They love sharing THEIR harvest with the family. Choosing what they are going to grow is important, too.

Your comment about their ownership of certain crops they have planted or selected reminded me that our kids are also extra excited about working in the garden when it means they get to use their little shovels, their little gloves, and even their little wheelbarrow.
