Need veggie seed advice

Starlight · February 22, 2017

I have a 10th grade special needs young man that I am working with for the season trying to teach him to grow a little veggie garden.

Took 7 hours, but we got him some tomatoes, beans, peppers and corn seeds planted. We'll see here in the next few days what may or may not need replanted. Bless his heart some seed I think may have gotten buried to deep and other not deep enough.

The question I have is carrots are his favorite veggie. His hands are somewhat crippled up, and I know carrot and lettuce seeds are small so no way could he pick them up. The seed has to be started and grown in containers. Any suggestions on the best way to try and help him sow some and what kind of container can I use. I have containers, but they all 1, 2 and 3 gallon round ones. Have no idea if those would work or not.

Any advice for this child appreciated. If if he only gets one or two plants, it will be a start for him.

TIA
