What about garden cress? It's so easy to grow. And pigs can have it 2-4 times a week according to Ly's chart. If you get an old pop sock or cut off the foot of a pair of tights, stuff it with moist cottom wool, put the cress seeds on top, tie the end of the sock, then get your daughter to draw a funny face on the front of it, she can grow a Cresshead. They can look really funny when the 'hair' grows in. And then she can feed the cress to the pigs when she gives it a 'hair cut'.
Would your daughter consider switching to green bell peppers? I only ask because peppers tend to change colour, and orange peppers go red -- thus sweeter. Green ones tend to go yellow before red. Unless my peppers are just bizarre. |
