Planning activities and eating enough fruit and vegetables can be tricky.
So, Learning Resources has come up with a fun solution to achieve both — a fruit and vegetable growing cheatsheet!
This downloadable and printable guide teaches you a valuable life skill, gets you outdoors and encourages healthy eating!
If you know where your food comes from and have had a hand in growing it, you might be more excited about eating it.
Their fruit and vegetable growing guide tells you:
- the best times to plant seeds
- when to harvest
- how often to water
- where to plant them
- and even creepy crawlies that may pay a visit!
Within the Learning Resources guide, you’ll get a little taste of what it’s like to be a farmer by growing carrots, potatoes, onions, beetroot, peas, strawberries, raspberries and more!
To help you learn more about what is being grown, the infographic includes fruity facts and an informational rainbow chart about the goodness hiding within your homegrown delights.
All of our fruit and vegetables are grown in a pot or on a plot, however, if you want to go the extra mile for your seedlings, you can start them off in a root trainer – this may be for the more advanced farmer…
This guide is a great activity to do in early spring, giving you the opportunity to get your hands dirty, watch the lifespan of the foods we eat and ultimately eat more healthily!
