Grow a Totally Weird Garden - Softcover

With Grow A Totally Weird Garden kids can plant unique vegetables such as Thumbelina carrots, Big Moon pumpkins, Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflowers, and Sweetie tomatoes. The kit offers everything needed to get started: seeds, peat pellets, and fascinating facts about both weird and "norman" plants. Kids old enough to play in the dirt will love Grow A Totally Weird Garden because it shows them how to start their own garden from scratch. In humourous illustrations and child-friendly text, young readers learn about growing things, as well as unusual facts regarding the entire growing season. Young readers learn how to plant indoors and outdoors, why some plants are sensitive (and move when touched), and how to take care of their tiny sprouts. Parents can get involved as well by helping kids make compost, spot new plant shoots and look for "good" and "bad" insects. Grow A Totally Weird Garden contains six seed packets for growing purple beans (they turn green when cooked!), round carrots, giant pumpkins, behemoth sunflowers, and more! -- Midwest Book Review
