LO was a few months old so obviously she didn't help! :grin: It really was pretty easy once we had the plants in the ground (we got starters from a local farm's plant sale) and we had a fairly decent crop despite neglecting it pretty well! I am very excited to have her "help" this summer and I think the second year will go a lot better because I have a lot more of an idea of what to plant! </p> <p>So I would do a small raised bed with the idea that you can get your feet wet and then expand upon it next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gardening-with-los#post-2489744 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:32:17 +0000 regberadaisy 2489744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do they want flowers or do you want actual vegetables for them to pick and eat?</p> <p>I would perhaps start with blooms/vegetables from a nursery. Let them go pick it out with you and start from there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gardening-with-los#post-2488469 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:30:00 +0000 Bao 2488469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The girls want to have a garden this year, which I think will be fun for them...but I've never had a 'real' garden before, just a couple of things in pots and they didn't all live. I don't want it to be overwhelming, but not really sure where to start. Should I attempt a small garden in the ground (we have a spot) or just do a couple of things in pots and see how it goes? </p>
