They put a staple in the middle of the bag and the seed sits on top of it. day by day they watch the sprout and roots grow. Amazing! At home we took out the little sprouts from the bags and planted them in pots, and they are still growing!

A feeling of connection to the EARTH is HUGE!<br /><br />Erika sent us a great story about teaching her children to value LEARNING through gardening. Great video, check it out here:<br />ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/2265<br /><br />Hope you like it! <br /><br />Cheers.<br />-Mike<br />mike@ahamoment.comMikehttp://www.ahamoment.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408328166160721785.post-91395423903412945372009-05-14T00:40:00.000-07:002009-05-14T00:40:00.000-07:00There has been a lot of construction outside my gr...There has been a lot of construction outside my granddaughter's house for months, and I've had loads of opportunities to indulge, vicariously of course, my passion for big tools and trucks. We especially enjoyed watching the (relatively) tiny footprint backhoe on a 360 swivel base.<br /><br />Worm composting is almost always a big hit with kids.

The compost tea is fun for them to sprinkle on the garden, too.graceonlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600679221472546269noreply@blogger.com
