Grow Tomatos with your kids

Grow fresh tomatoes with your kids to help them learn responsibility. Have them help nurture the tomatoes and they will see them grow and also you’ll have some delicious fresh tomatoes to eat. Start with Alaska Heirloom Tomato Seeds. These organic tomato seeds produce short to medium-sized, bushy plants. This is an early-producing tomato plant that yields lots of large, round, brilliant red, ‘salad-type’ cherry tomatoes with very good flavor. This is a favorite tomato variety for cooler growing climates.

Growing Sprouts – Good Fresh Food For Kids

Even though most of you are thinking, ” I don’t have the time to do something as ridiculous as grow sprouts” you need to know how it easy it is. In fact you could say it is as easy as growing grass.  It is so simple that a child could do it which is exactly why I am telling you all about it.

The reason you want to grow sprouts is because they are a whole food. They contain everything a human needs to survive in one little plant. Also growing them is a really nice project for you and a kid. These plants grow so easily and fast that it gives your child a real sense of accomplishment. Better yet after they are grown you can teach your child how to make a sandwich or salad with them. So you kill two birds with one stone by teaching cooking and gardening at the same time.

If you are a person who is concerned about the environment and issues such as global warming then you might be interested in growing sprouts.  Did you know that if you juice them, as many people do with wheatgrass sprouts, you can live on just the juice for the rest of your life if you had to?   Also if you are sick the juice from fresh sprouts is incredibly healing. It is best to mix sprout juice with tomato juice to improve the flavor.

If you could sneak a little sprout juice into your children’s beverages you would be doing them an incredible favor as it is full of all kinds of friendly enzymes and growth promoting vitamins and minerals. They are one of these foods that leaves a minimal carbon imprint when produced. Fresh sprouts can be grown almost anywhere and for pennies.

Another good reason to grow your own sprouts is to reduce global warming. It is a good idea to teach your kids how to be ecologically correct early on in the game. For all you know you are teaching them survival skills who knows what could happen to agriculture in the next twenty now. By now you have probably heard of the 100 mile rule which says that you should eat foods grown within a 100 miles of where you live to prevent the pollution caused by food transportation.  Sprouts can be grown right in the same room that you are.  All you need is water and sunlight (or the grow lamp.) Growing them is environmentally a very nice thing to do for Mother Earth.

When I say that sprouts can be grown anywhere I am completely serious. You can grow them under a grow lamp in under a week so you are enjoying a beneficial and fresh food source all year long. I really love onion sprouts. Furthermore onion sprouts have allicin in them which helps boost the immune system. They might be a little strong for children. The same thing goes for radish sprouts which can have a real bite to them. For kids play it safe by sticking to alfalfa sprouts which are blander.
