Want to get your kids into gardening?  Here's a quick and easy way to get the ball rolling.  A friend of mine introduced me to this Roll and Grow system.  It sounds really cheesy and it's one of those things that they sell on TV for $19.95 - but she has one and it really works great!  Essentially you get a 10 foot roll of this cottony stuff that is full of seeds.  All you need to do is lay it along a garden or a path or cut it to fit into a windowbox or a planter.  Then water it and watch it grow.  Soon you will have a ton of beautiful wildflowers to enjoy.

Might be fun for people who don't have a ton of time for a garden or who just want something quick and easy.  It would work almost anywhere as long as you had a pot or a container to put the pieces into.

This is also a quick and easy way to line a walkway or along the front of your house with pretty flowers.   Cut it in half lengthwise and you'll get 20 feet of edging.  It might even be a fun spring project for a classroom.
