Garden Update

We have seedlings!

We have 3 of our 4 broccoli seedlings - we suspect the dog stepped on the 4th. He has been in big trouble for standing in the raised beds.



French breakfast radishes


Spinach


Our green onion test worked! These are the green onions purchased at the farmer's market with roots still attached. We stuck them in the dirt, trimed them down and they are growing!


Not pictured - a celery seedling. We are still waiting for our carrot and chard seedlings.

And the best seedlings of all

Something strange in the neighborhood...

Unexpected learning

In general numbers are not of great interest to Zachary at this point, until NASCAR. He will work out numbers so he can read the numbers on the cars. I guess I can tolerate some short bursts of NASCAR on our TV if he is working out the difference between 34 and 43.

Today we baked bread and buns. While measuring out the flour Zachary dropped the 1 cup measuring cup in to the yeast slurry which gave us the opportunity to discuss how many half cups equal 1 cup. A bit of fractions, multiplication and some extra dishes to wash. The fruits of our labor were delicious topped will grilled burgers and a side of roasted beets fresh from the Farmer's Market.
