We got some wildflower seeds that were embedded in paper last fall, so we held on to them until spring, and I gave each of the boys a couple papers, ad a pot of dirt and it has been their responsibility to keep them watered and growing. (They help in my gardens but these were to be purely theirs with no interference from me).
I really did NOT expect much out of their "garden" but have been amazed! We have had so many beautiful flowers bloom (and many more to come still) and we've had a great time looking up and learning the names of all these new flower varieties we had never seen! (Thank you Heather for all your help as well!!!)
Our first to bloom ended up being Baby Blue Eyes. Gorgeous little flowers! Nemopila insignis
Then we had "Baby Snapdragons" or toadflax Toadflax Linaria maroccana
Baby's Breath Gypsophila muralis
5 spot or Buffalo eyes Nemophila maculata
Strawflower Centaurea cyanus
WallFlower Cheiranthus allionii
We're set to study Botany next year and now I really can't wait. I'm thinking seriously of not buying regular flowers next year either and just doing the whole front bed in wildflower seeds! This is so fun, running outside every morning to see what new surprise flower will greet us! We have sunflowers coming up and I think poppies too. I cant wait to see what else blooms!
Hi Angel!! Whenever your feeling blue or need to get out, come visit us!! The beach is nice and there's a park. We'd love to have company. the kids and I are usually stuck at the trailer till daddy gets home. Give me a call or pop on in-we're at site 19. Take care!! And I love your flowers!! I'm so jealous and can't wait to plant some of my own!!

So, it has been awhile, and I have been reading your blog under homeschooling to catch up with all the fab stuff you've been doing, and noticed that you used Weaver. I am strongly considering this. Would you mind sharing your thoughts? I am discovering I am pretty eclectic and like to use...well....pretty much any and everything that looks interesting, but I am really drawn to this unit study approach with the Bible as the center starting point. I know that I will branch out and use other curriculums as well. I just got a copy of sequential spelling, and I really like Easy Grammer and Daily Grams. So, when you get some time, please comment away. Thanks!
