We are learning some gardening skills at the moment! We gave her a little garden box and divided it into 6 squares it will be hers to look after! She chose to put some mint, parsley, oregano, lettuce seeds and a Pink snapdragon in the box. The mint was planted next to a small strawberry plant that was already in the box.

My mother gave my daughter a snapdragon plant once, and it flowered for several months. Miss Pete thought it was the most wonderful thing ever. She now wants to start a whole garden...

She likes snapdragons, but she prefers plants she can eat. That suits me to a T - I've never seen the point of ornamental plants with no culinary/medicinal/companion-planting value.

Anything ornamental that flowers is good for the garden as the flowers bring in bees. You need bees to pollinate tomatoes, cucumbers, fruit trees etc their flowers alone dont have enough oomph to attract bees so you need some showy, high perfume flowers to bring the bees in

A great point. I'd rather something both floral and useful in another way also.

Good stuff. Growing, to my mind, is an important part of prepping and done the right way is easy and enjoyable [fresh food]
