my 4.75 year old is on his 2nd year of 'his own' gardening.
we're in NH, so he only has lettuce out in the garden, but he
has several tomatoes & peppers (both hot & sweet), plus
watermelon & pumpkins started under lights indoors.he also has
moonflowers, bells of Ireland, hollyhocks & four o'clocks
under the lights (i had to go look. i don't always remember
what he's started). we buy marigolds to plant with the basil &
tomatoes & he'll probably start nasturtiums outside after last
frost date (2 more weeks).
he's asked me to help him build a bean teepee & he got ahold
of my Making Bentwood Trellises (Jim Long) book, so he has a
few projects in there picked out, including a trellis for the
moonflowers.
oh yeah, he has 4 flats of pansies ready to go out too... and
2 windowboxes on the enclosed porch, one with beets & one
carrots. he's definately been bitten by the garden bug

WOW! Now that's a kid with a green thumb!
