Harvest!

Posted in Garden
My little garden girl is HAPPY!  
 
I am letting her dig up her carrots.
 
"It's harvest day! It's harvest day!"
 
Here are more pics from our very humble garden!

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Posted in Garden
 
Dad and daughter, (the patient and gentle gardeners) have confiscated my garden!
It is being turned into a mostly herb garden with some peppers and flowers.
Stay tuned for Mom and son's garden!

Garden Treasures

Posted in Garden
  
Today we planted seeds in this Jiffy Professional Greenhouse (from Walmart.)
 
We'll be getting them ready for the garden.
Here in Florida there is no worry of frost...
Our problem is the heat of summer.
   
As I was preparing the garden; pulling out old tree roots...
I found a treasure!
"Quick get the camera!"
I knew that I would find a treasure one day!
My husband informed me that this is only an old switch.

A Garden Makeover

Posted in Garden
  I admire the people who can garden and eat the fruits of their labor.     
I'm not much of a gardener.
  But, I enjoy having a simple one that my kids can be a part of.
 
First we need to clear out the weeds. No fun!
And get the soil ready.
  
Then we plant...the fun part!
 
Back to Lowes for a few more plants.
 
An entry in our Nature Notebooks.

The Garden

Posted in Garden
 

"Ideas Grow and Produce after their Kind."-

    

   –"For the dictionary appears to me to fall short of the truth in its definition of the term 'idea.' An idea is more than an image or picture; it is, so to speak, a spiritual germ endowed with vital force––with power, that is, to grow, and to produce after its kind. It is the very nature of an idea to grow: as the vegetable germ secretes that it lives by, so, fairly implant an idea in the child's mind, and it will secrete its own food, grow, and bear fruit in the form of a succession of kindred ideas. We know from our own experience that, let our attention be forcibly drawn to some public character, some startling theory, and for days after we are continually hearing or reading matter which bears on this one subject, just as if all the world were thinking about what occupies our thoughts:
the fact being, that the new idea we have received is in the act of growth, and is reaching out after its appropriate food. This process of feeding goes on with peculiar avidity in childhood, and the growth of an idea in the child is proportionably rapid."
