Seeds For Small Hands
Posted on 24 January 2010
Working in a children’s garden, I have realized that some seeds are better than others for small hands. If you are working with children, here is a list of seeds their hands can easily handle.
Squash/Gourds
Beans
Peas
Sunflowers
Something to remember is that the larger the seed the deeper it will need to be planted. As a general rule, always plant seeds in a hole twice as deep as the seed. Although many places will tell you to use a cup or an egg carton to start with, this is not always the best option if you want to see your plant reach maturity. We would like to suggest to our readers that they plant big seeds directly into the ground. If you do start a large seed in a container please make sure the container is deep enough for the plant to not only germinate but grow. So choose your seeds wisely and watch it grow!
