I was actually looking for vegetable plot ideas but came across these which are cheap and a lovely idea.. of course could do you own but wanted to let everyone know....

We grew lots of veg last year... the peas were especially well received but none actually got cooked!!
I wonder how easy it is to grow pumpkins? they sound a great project for eyfs, lots of measuring, etc.

I thought we'd grow some flowers each child could have their own individual pot and the older ones can record how their flowers grow.

Nice site

I've got some pumpkin seeds ready to plant - how lovely will that be if they work out - we can use them at Halloween to make halloween pumpkins, as well as cooking the flesh! They need so much room though - not sure where I'm going to put them!! Has anyone ever grown them in pots?
