My friend has a son of 11yrs. old, who has learning difficulties and ADHD. But, he enjoys "gardening". Unfortunately, we live in flats and do not have gardens, just balconies, and at this present moment in time, every conceivable place in her flat is now covered with pots of seeds. Tomatoes, radishes, spring onions, beetroot....... You name it, Tony is trying to grow it, Unfortunately, her flat does not get much sunshine at the time of the day you would need it for growing things. Our main concern is that if Tony keeps planting seeds, watching them germate, and then, everything dies, he will lose his interest in gardening, which would be a negative imput on him. No-one wants that, especially his mother or me. So, if there are any enthusiastic flat-dwelling, indoor or balcony gardeners, that could send any info./timetable/calendar information that I could print out for Tony, so he can actually grow and see to fruition, (no pun intended), i.e. eat his produce, it would be very much appreciated. As a last note, I have a good sense of humour, but I DO NOT want any suggestions of "leaf" plants that he may be able to grow. I am being serious on this matter. Thanks alot. Christine
 
herbs... basil, parsley, coriander.... or how about tomatoes - small bag of soil and train them up the balcony

Sorry just read again bout the toms... herbs are your best bet
 
buy him some small cactus's, these just need warmth so they will thrive inside by the radiator! good luck
