The Homeschool Village is having an awesome challenge. It is a garden challenge! Our family loves to garden and I wrote a lot about our garden last year. This year we are hoping to add just a couple more vegetables. Where we live at, we do not have much room. We plan on building a couple of garden boxes and will definitely have many large pots filled with plants.
So far, we have planted 36 tomato seeds, as well as onions, brussels sprouts, thyme and oregano. We also plan on planting cucumbers, bell peppers,squash, zucchini, beans and peas. I am sure by the time we are finished planting, there will be more veggies to add to the list.
The kids enjoy helping out with the garden. They have helped us plants the seeds and they also check daily to see if they need to be watered.
We have always loved having a garden. Besides having wonderful fresh veggies, it is an activity that we can do together as a family. I can’t wait to share the progress of our garden as it begins to grow!
I didn't know Brussels sprouts grew like that!
36 Tomato plants! WOW – make some sauce for me – that's GREAT!

Thats a lot of tomatoes 🙂 I love watch brussels sprouts grow, such an interesting plant.
Wooowho! 36 tomato plants is awesome! I only have 13 or so myself and that can be a lot of tomatoes for us. HEHE
Take care!

36 tomato plants, wow! I think we usually only do a few…! I love how brussel sprouts grow-something other-wordly about them 🙂
I am hoping to add lots of container pots this year, too- mostly so they will be closer by and I can keep and eye on them, stuff like herbs for cooking and strawberries. Happy gardening!
I want to be where u are, awesome
I've missed visiting with you for a few weeks, so I had to stop by! I love what you've done with garden boxes and other containers! It'll be fun to see how your gardening progresses through the season! Deb @ LivingMontessoriNow.com
I'm trying my hand with container gardening this year too. I have a very large garden for my bigger plants but somethings don't do well out there so I wanted them near the house to keep a close eye on them.
Good luck with your garden.
