At the end of spring my little girl and I always plant herbs in pots. I like herbs because I think they are very easy and a good introduction to gardening. I for one still get excited when I see something wonderful and luscious growing just from putting a few seeds in some soil.
Growing plants from seeds teaches a child a valuable lesson in nurturing and caring for something. It's a responsibility that with the help of an adult is easily managed and with a little TLC and a dash of patience should produce something they can be proud of.

| Just some of the herbs we chose, cilantro, parsley and basil. |
 |
| We chose organic soil and seeds. |
 |
| They are so tiny you have to be careful you're not tempted to dump the whole packet. |
 |
| Planting them all by herself, under special guidance of course. |
 |
| Cover them up and give them a good watering (we didn't use bottled water, just the container). |
 |
| VOIILA! |
It doesn't take much time to see these tiny things grow....if you have never planted seeds with a child I would encourage you to give it a go it can be a lot of fun for both of you.....plus it's cheaper than the grocery store.
