What are your favorite seeds to have your students plant? I usually stick with Lima beans or alfalfa seeds, but I’m looking to branch out.
If you have some outside space, plant leaf lettuce and radish. I did this a few years ago. On the last day of school, we harvested and had salads. It was weird to eat salad at 9:30 in the morning, but I loved hearing the comments that it was the best salad they ever had.
Peas are simple to grow and they sprout quickly, making them a great choice for a classroom garden.
Wheat grass! Not sure if that is ideal for most but children love to trim it etc!
I have used lima and navy beans. They both produce plants very quickly even though I don't have a lot of sunlight in my classroom.
