Sprouting Carrot Tops With Kids

Let’s grow carrot tops! One of the easiest plants for a young gardener to grow, carrot tops make pretty houseplants for a sunny window and their fernlike foliage is beautiful in an outdoor container garden. Eventually, white lacey flowers will bloom. Growing carrots from carrot tops takes no special equipment and results will be seen in a matter of days – always a bonus when working with kids!
