HSV Garden Challenge Link UP #3

Joining all my friends over at The Homeschool Village for
 the 3rd Garden Challenge Link Up!  

It's no wonder with all our rain that our plants have done anything but swim!  The kids are excited to see their plants blossoming and reaching for the sun! 





Sadly our eggshell experiment, where we planted the seeds in the shells to be able to 
just plant into the ground, died 8(  Too much water...

We are hoping to get to planting our herbs this weekend, if time allows. 
Taking a trip today to our local Farmers Market for a picnic lunch with 
friends.

Last Summer at the market Zachary was chatting it up about Alpaca yarn and how it's made.


Last years harvest each week!  YUMMO!

I've been worried about the rain for our container gardens too!!! So far some have faired well, while others not-so-much :(

Looks great Melissa! :) So glad you've had the rain to make your garden grow, but unfortunately swim at the same time :( Veggies look yummy!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
