Today, I hit the water bottle bonanza! On the way back from a fire drill, I was collecting every empty drinking water bottle I spied from my fellow employees, and, one told me she had a whole recycling box full of them in her office! Can you say, "let the potting up begin?"
I've been watching the seedlings all week, knowing this weekend I have to start potting up, 'cause those true leaves are moving in fast! There are eighteen more mustards and collards ready, and the cabbages I propped up in the straw sleeves have rewarded me with strong stems and new leaves, so they're ready, too.
And, a co-worker (a newbie gardener in training) has struck up a partnership with her 4-year-olds' school to do eBuckets for each child in her class this fall/winter, in addition to the ones I'm hoping to do at my 4-year-old niece's school, too. I think that's about 30 eBuckets! Good thing I planted so many seedlings, huh? And, good thing I have a very good friend who keeps me supplied with snow white pickle buckets and lids! Whew!
So,which veggies do 4-year-olds love to eat? NONE!!!! But, they all get super excited about watching the little plants grow into something they recognize, I guess. Maybe, this little project might actually encourage some healthy snacking?
Of course, the 4-year-old with A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E eats her healthy salad snack with Ceasar Salad dressing.
Go figure....
Godspeed, and Good Harvest!
