emdeGardener2 emdeGardener2 Great Gardener Registered: 02/22/08 Posts: 942 Loc: Merced County,California	My youngest brother has autism. I can't let hin near my garden, seedlings, or tools& supplies because he'll make a mess. I think I'll introduce him to gardening by letting him plant radishes. Then I'll move him on to bigger things. _________________________ Growing a vegetable garden is worth it!

They are quick to sprout and quick to grow and can be done early ! And they are so pretty too! Beans and peas are good too. _________________________
