A few weeks ago N8 was in charge of or FHE activity. So, what did he plan? Well, nothing...that seems to be or problem. We don't really plan ahead for FHE and do it all on the fly. So, when it was time for activity he declared that the activity would be arm wrestling!! The kids didn't know what it was, but once N8 showed them they thought it was hilarious! Since then we've done arm wresting one more time for the activity. It might become a regular right there with the animal game and playing the Wii!
About 2 1/2 weeks ago for FHE we had a lesson of faith and then planted some seeds. We've done something like this in the past, but this time the seeds were going to be put into our garden. Here's what we started with: We planted a wide variety for us: cucumbers, cantaloupe, pumpkin, squash, beans, bell pepper & jalapeno, This is what they looked like this morning: The beans were really ready to be out of their little peat pots and into the ground. So I added some more soil and a bag of manure to our little garden: And started planting! The both peppers aren't ready so they're still waiting and I also planted some radish and carrot seeds. We're still debating making another little box so we have more space for tomatoes, peppers and whatever else we decide to try. But for now this is it: We'll see if they last. I only planted about 1/2 of the starts we had. We just don't have that much space. Plus neither N8 or I really have a green thumb and chances are things are going to die! My Grandma was an awesome gardener and my mom for sure inherited that from her. Unfortunately I didn't! But we're hoping that this is our year for more success. We know we can do tomatoes and peppers, but we're ready to branch out.
Any gardens started out there? or plans for those still buried under snow?
