Lest my readers think we only go on vacation around here, I felt I should redeem myself with a "non-vacation" post. Lily's latest school project was on plants. She had to choose a part of a plant to do a short report on and give some examples. With some heavy guidance from me, she chose the root. She wrote a 25 word report, drew a picture, and added the following pictures from our garden to her project. We also pulled a radish and onion from our garden, as well as a carrot from Brooke's for her to take to school. She has a radish for each classmate to taste. That should be interesting! I knew growing a garden would come in
handy! (Other than the awesome produce we get from it!) Let me tell you, as a former teacher, it was so hard for me not to jump in and help her with every aspect of this project. It is ready to go though, in all its messy glory!
She had fun hunting for radishes that were ready to pick. If anyone of you is interested in starting to garden, grow radishes. They are so easy, and you will be harvesting in 30-45 days! Kids love to grow radishes.
I sacrificed one of my onions for her project. At this point, they are "green onions." They will not be fully ready to pick until July, give or take a few weeks. I am growing red and yellow onions, as well as garlic. We've also got some beets and lettuce planted. The tomatoes are in the ground too, so we're hoping for some fruit by the end of May.
