Almost Garden Time!

Even though it is beyond freezing here in Michigan today, Spring is on its way. In fact spring has been flirting with us for a couple of weeks now. When I woke up this morning I looked outside and it was super sunny. But it was not warm at all. It was actually the opposite of warm.

But still, it is really only a matter of time before the warn and sunny weather will be here to stay once and for all.

And with the warm weather approaching, it is only natural that I am beginning to think about my garden plans. I love to use this time to teach my kids about sowing and reaping. I think this is an important thing to teach our children. As a homeschooling family it seems like a no brainer. It is getting warm and we need to plant a garden. So why not have your kids do it, and learn a bunch of different lessons while they are at it.

I am hoping to focus more on the benefits of organic gardening I would like to incorporate more of the organic techniques this year in our gardening. I also think it would be great to give my kids their own garden plots. However my yardis so small. I am thinking that instead I will give them both one of my garden beds to work this year together.
