Teach Your Kids To Grow What They Eat - Sustainable Window Farming

by Chrissy Rex

We grow most of our veggies and herbs via window farming using my patented Living Ledge Vertical Garden system, which assists with growing microgreens. Almost every window is filled with delicious and nutritious edibles. Our whole family, kids included know how to grow, prepare and enjoy the fruits and veggies of their own labor. Cheers to encouraging kids in the garden and in the kitchen ~ future generations are counting on it! More information on Living Ledge can be found via www.livingledge.com

Considering the prices they get for micro greens, it makes a great deal of sense to grow you own.

  @Douglas Hunt I could not agree more. Sewing a package of seeds every 4th day will give you enough microgreens to feed a family of four very well.
