This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Gardening.

Vegetables add all sorts of essential nutrients to our diet along with variety. The bulk of a healthful diet is built on eating a variety of vegetables. Even if you happen to lack the garden space to grow them in large numbers, you can still add vegetables grown in a manner keeping with your ethics at home. Just remember to select varieties suited to compact growth.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
Do not use plastic, cement, porous terracotta, or styrofoam pots.
It may not be part of the potted polyculture BB requirement.
Plant it using any method that is organic or better.
Start from seed.
Display that the plant is growing.






To document and become certified for this BB provide photos or video (less than 2 minutes) showing the following:
- Explain the vegetable chosen and methods used.
- Show image of planting it (and transplanting if you started the seed in a smaller container)
- Show image of the vegetable in three stages of growth (sprouting, full plant, and fruiting/harvestable)

Could a “seed” be a bulbil, like from the top of a walking onion?

I think a bulbil doesn't count as a seed.

I got some broccoli and brussel sprouts seeds from my local garden center to plant in my brother's backyard bed.  They seem to be doing well!  Now to figure out how to make sure the bunnies and deer don't eat them before we do...

Note: I'm sorry Justine but you have to post the pictures that are called for in the top post of this thread.  Hopefully you have them and can just edit this post?  Those requirements are:  - Show image of planting it (and transplanting if you started the seed in a smaller container) - Show image of the vegetable in three stages of growth (sprouting, full plant, and fruiting/harvestable)

Radish attempting to finish before winter gets here.
I plan on making them a poly culture around a stone fruit tree that I'm moving from the pot it started in to my yard.
But I can't plant them outside yet so it's going to grow some in a fabric pot.
