This year we've had great success growing herbs in pots, especially basil, we finally learning not to over water it! It's so satisfying for the children to get the pots ready, sprinkle on the teeny tiny seeds and then write the label, water and wait.... when the first seedling show it's really exciting for them to see the results, not to mention taste the lovely leaves when they're big enough to harvest. I CAN claim responsibility for converting a number of children who claimed not to like tomatoes, salads, peppers or herbs, but once tasted- minds changed for ever, especially if they've had a hand in planting and nurturing the plants from seed. Fabulous!
