My two children love gardening as much as I do. Whenever they are at home and I have some gardening to do, they are always lending their hands to help which is a fun activity for all of us. Last year, I let them plant some corn and they witnessed how it grew, bore fruit, and for the most fun part is watching them harvest what they planted. It was truly memorable, so this year, they asked if they can plant corn again. We bought a pack of sweet corn seeds and the kids planted it last Sunday. Below are the photos I took of them from last year.
In planting corn, you will need the corn seeds and shovel. Here are some steps that we did:
- Bought a pack of corn seeds.
- Soak it overnight before planting.
- Dig a hole about two inches deep and add three corn seeds in each hole.
- Make sure to make two or three rows. With our space, we only made one row which still works but the more rows of corn you have, the better.
You can see how proud my kids are in harvesting their corn.
I am into gardening so watching the videos from The Gro Project helps me gather ideas on what to do for my next project. They have fun garden projects that even beginners like me can easily do. Now, if you have an account at Pinterest and you would like to get some fresh ideas for gardening, follow Miracle-Gro and get updates with their fun projects.

Last year, I encountered some uncommon bugs at my garden and watching some of the videos helped me solve the said problem.
I wish I could have a garden--my grandparents had a large one when I was young and I loved going in there and picking fresh veggies and eating them on the spot-especially the green beans!! There is nothing quite like home grown products-your kids really look proud as they should be!

ReplyDeleteI've read a couple of different articles on The Gro Project so I don't know how I missed the tip about following them on Pinterest for gardening ideas. I'm heading to Pinterest next to follow them because there have been a lot of great ideas in these articles!
ReplyDeleteWow! you grow your own corn, fresh and taste good for sure. That's a fun activities for you guys.
ReplyDeleteAre those home grown corn? I envy you sis, we really want to start planting our own food too its just that we haven't move yet to our new house hopefully soon cant really wait.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest loves to garden too. We do container gardening which means nothing good like corn. I will come over with my veggies and we can enjoy all of them on the grill!
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful that you are teaching your children to garden. I wish I could have a garden at my house but it is very dry and we have water restrictions.
ReplyDeleteIt's always another memorable times to cherish when you plant with your kids, just showing them that it's not simple to grow all those plants so they should take care them.
