Getting kids ‘and’ garden:
ing together isn’t always

easy, but. nice things happen

if you do. Capturing their in-
terest is vital — plants don't
move, purr, fly or have
plastic parts, so you have to
make it fun.

Garbage gardening in-
doors is a good beginning.
Once the child has planted
an avocado, orange or
grapefruit seed and seen it
grow, or hollowed out a car-
rot, suspended it and watch-
ed the resultant greenery, or
sprouted seeds in a jar, he’s
primed for the outdoor pro-
jects. :

As long as these are simple
and require minimum care.,:
you can usually count on his
cooperation. <A bean
“teepee” is always an atten-
tion grabber. Plant runner
beans around the perimeter
of a circle of poles, tied
together top centre. Twine
the vines as they grow to
make a tent they can hide in.
They'll pick beans for you
when ready. Plant some
beans, especially for the girls
— tell them you're providing

| the wherewithal for colorful

jewelry. Look for varictics
that yield bright purple or
red or yellow beans, or try
rainbow corn, to be dred
and strung into necklaces.

Peanuts are another win-
ner crop, in the ground or in
large, shallow tubs or boxes
so They can have their own
“patch” to tend. When the
leaves fade and fall, it’s
wonder time as they see the
peanuts hanging beneath the
plant.

If they've never tried
hydroponics, give it a whirl.
Break free a few of your pot
grown hosueplants or buy
some new ones for growing
in water. It’s a_ lively,
decorative way to show off
the collection.

Begin by gathering
containers and think clear.
‘Anything glassy and shiny
will do — old wine bottles,
water jugs ,and pitchers,
» brandy snifters, vases long
relegated to the back of the
cupboard, even jelly glasses.
Shine these to fare-thee-well

where to place them. A

banked together, the
greenery in the shiny glass
can brighten many a dull
