We Had a Garden
We Raised Corn, Tomatoes, Green Beans, and More
Growing up, my family had a large yard and a large garden. My mom (with all of our help) planted seeds each spring, and within weeks we watched the little shoots pop out of the ground.
I loved how Mom would stick pea seeds in the ground under the snow according to the day proclaimed by the Farmer's Almanac as the day to plant. This was usually in February or March. Who would think the little seeds would do anything other than freeze? But we always had delicious fresh peas a few months later.
Then later in the spring, we planted corn, green beans, lettuce, beets, and other vegetables. She usually bought tomato plants that already had a good start. We had enough vegetables that some meals all that was on the plate that didn't come out of the garden was the meat and bread.
Homegrown food tastes so much better. Grow a garden with your child!

Seeds need a few things to grow. They must have good soil, enough sunlight, and water to sprout then grow into a plant.

To one who has been long in city spent,
'Tis very sweet to look into the fair
And open face of heaven
--to breathe a prayer
Full in the smile of the blue firmament."
~John Keats

Root Avocado Seeds
I'm trying to root a couple of avocado seeds. This is an easy, fun project to try with kids to show that seeds grow plants.
According to Gardening Know Now, about one in three avocado seeds will sprout. Since I have two going, I'm hoping at least one will take the plunge and sprout!
Update: One of my avocado seeds did root! The root was so long, in fact, that I had to move it from the cup shown in the photo to a glass, which gave it more room. The plant has not erupted from the top yet, but I'm hoping any day now it will!
