Growing food rewards patience with something delicious—and makes identification and cleanliness especially important. Use known food-crop seed, follow its packet, keep pets and manure away from harvest areas, wash hands after gardening, and rinse produce under cool running water before preparing it.
Never taste treated seed, an unknown plant, green potato tissue, or a crop affected by an allergy. Ask an adult when a harvest needs cooking or special preparation.
