The first time I had to use a nursery pot to grow my plants, I was such a ninny. I didn’t bother to ask questions, I just took a pair of scissors and cut it to release the plants. Ok, so I was 6, what did you expect? At least I was attempting to learn! But that’s the fun about these nursery pots; they are learning tools as well as growing tools.

My kids have introduced me to rainbow colored nursery pots that when placed alternately on top of a table, they are quite attractive. I use the different colored ones according to the different seeds that I grow in them, so it is quite helpful as well as nice to look at. I just don’t like labels, I only ruin them, and I just plain don’t like them. So with the different colors, I can distinguish one from the other.

There are bigger sized nursery pots that can grow vegetables like potatoes or, my kid’s favourite broccoli and cauliflower. Yes, sorry guys, my kids love them, so there. They love watching their veggies grow and the thought of harvesting them off the plant in their pots drives them to giggles and fits of laughter. Mind you, it is not like a Pietro turkey here, as these don’t bother to feed off your hand.

My kids learned how to plant from science class and when they saw the numerous pots that I had stored, they got all excited and immediately got to work. They are not afraid to dig their hands into the dirt. Unfortunately, they sometimes forget to clean up after, but it’s all just part of the learning process. They have fun, they are learning, and they are growing.

There was a time, before my kids were interested in planting, where I was wondering what to do with the piles of pots in the corner of the storeroom, now my problem is getting hold of one; my kids just keep planting as if there is no tomorrow. At least they are still using those pots which I bought more than 5 years ago.
