Has anyone worked with kids in the garden?
I am a beginner gardener, so bear with me...
I am planning on planting tomato seeds and garlic cloves in pots with 6th graders next week.
I have twelve very small (like about a measuring cup in size) ceramic pots and I was wondering if it would be okay to start tomato plants from seeds in such small pots. If I can avoid buying starts, I want to, because I am very poor.
Also, is it better to grow garlic straight in the ground or start it in pots too? I read that I should put the garlic in the fridge before I plant it to trick it into thinking it's colder. I didn't realize that I probably should have planted the garlic sooner.
I plan on starting a bunch of plants with all different elementary school grades in the upcoming weeks and I would love any tips!!
