How successful was this kit in promoting student ability to identify vegetables? There was a good deal of interest in the different types of vegetables and some that they didn't recognise. It will be interesting to see how if they eat the vegetables when they are ready to be picked.

“The children were very excited and involved in the growing of their Little Garden pots and also loved the names and information about the growing periods. It's the first thing they look at when they come into school to see how much they've grown since last night. They laughed at the names and enjoyed cracking the code.”
