Who says they won’t eat their veggies?
Looking for a way to get your kids to eat their fruits & veggies? Well, there’s bribery and there’s trickery… not to mention all out war! Statistics show kids aren’t getting nearly enough fruits and veggies. Only 22% of children ages 2 to 5 meet government recommendations for vegetables consumption, according to a recent study by researchers at Ohio State University. It only gets worse as children get older. Only 16% of children ages 6 to 11 meet the government’s guidelines and just 11% of those ages 12 to 18.
It’s a fact that kids love to be involved and learn through hands-on projects, so why not get your kids in the garden with our NEW line of Chef Jeff Kid Veggies. Not only will your kids get involved, but it’s a great way to spend time with your little gardeners too. So get your little ones and make memories in the garden that you can bring to the table!
Scrumptious fruit & veggie plants for your little sprouts:
Tommy the Tomato – tasty fruit that produces delicious, large 1 to 2 pound tomatoes. The perfect addition to sandwiches salads, or use to make fresh salsa or pizza sauce. Requires the support of a stake or cage. Plant in a sunny spot, 24-30′ apart (70 days to maturity).
Beansy the Coolbean – produces beautiful white flowers that turn into tender green beans that can be picked all season long! Beans are best picked when they are 7-8′ long. Be sure to provide them with a fence, trellis, or pole to climb up. Plant in a sunny spot, 12-18′ apart (90 days to maturity).
Luke the Cuke – kids can watch as each yellow flower turns into a tasty dark green cucumber. Pick and eat these cuks straight out of the garden or use in your favorite sandwiches or salads. Plant in ground or containers in a sunny spot and pick often to keep new cucumbers coming all season long. Plant 12-18′ apart (55 Days to maturity).
Sherry the Berry – sweet strawberry that produces fruit all summer long! Plant in a sunny location and water frequently, and you’ll be rewarded with fruit year after year!
