I'm looking for advice on the easiest foods to grow from seed in a pot since my 2-year-old is eager to help. We've had some luck with blueberries and a cherry tree, but she specifically wants to grow broccoli! We only have space for one large pot, so I'm hoping to find seeds that can handle a bit of toddler care, like watering and planting. Any tips on what veggies would work well for us?

From my experience, bigger seeds are usually easier to start, especially if you're planning on transplanting. So, I'd recommend trying beans or zucchini! They tend to sprout well and are pretty forgiving if your toddler gets a bit enthusiastic. Also, have you ever tried using the leaves and flowers of nasturtiums in salads? They add a nice peppery flavor!
Ooh, I love the idea of nasturtium pesto too—it's super yummy!
