It’s moved on a bit now.

We have a very healthy edamame beanstalk climbing the trelliss in our garden.

A great way to get kids eating vegetables, get them to grow some.

I assume it was a way to teach kids how plants grow?

Nah it was child labour, why do you think egg and cress sandwiches were on every cafe menu back then, don't see it anymore.

And the beans grown on damp kitchen paper, some in the dark, some in the light. I was hooked from then on!

Did you do the sunflowers, some seeds planted upside down to see if they sprout downwards

I grew this green thing... it had leaves.

I still don't know what it was to this day.

As a nursery nurse i frequently helped children grow cress, it's great for younger children as it grows quickly.

We also grew sunflowers, runner beans, various bulbs, tomatoes, courgettes, strawberries etc.
