After much rain on and off for the past two and half weeks, we were able to get some of the garden planted. We've only planted corn, cucumbers, beans, peppers, tomatoes, zuchini, and potatoes so far. Hopefully next week we'll plant some more veggies, so we can have a huge variety to can this fall. The kids were really good about helping till the soil by hand and even measure and create the new rows. We've learned about plants and their life cycle before and have been reviewing that information in preparation for our garden activities. The kids are also learning about what plants grow better next to each other and about the bugs that like to attack them. We've learned a lot from the book called "The Vegetable Gardener's Bible" by Edward C. Smith.
