Woodwater Farmhouse

  This week marks our two week unit on Planting, Seeds and Earth.  We started off early one morning with taking pictures outside of the first signs of Spring.  Our yard is FILLED with sprinkles of creation and God's beauty! After our nature walk we started the day by reading Genesis - Creation.  After all isn't that were it all started.  Then we moved into our seeds unit. Using some worksheets from Education.com (huge variety of planting worksheets!) we learned about the life cycle of a seed . (picture of our seedlings we started weeks ago indoors) Did you happen to catch our Mini Planting Party over at Catch my Party . EZ way to start the planting season! I can't wait to share more with you all as our plants grow and we can eat the harvest!   Until next time - Be Blessed!

It's April and Spring is in full BLOOM here in New York.  The children and I started some seedlings INSIDE last month and are finally able to put them outside! Having a full blown garden in our yard is not practical  (and near impossible).  We have many creatures that would partake in the daily harvest before we would be able to even get to it - hence we have a garden on our upper deck each year.  Our planting menu includes: Tomatoes  basil, green beans, rosemary, peppers, thyme and a few other herbs and flowers.  I am still looking forward to our local farmer's market that runs from late June until October for the veggies we eat on a daily basis. I just love the outdoors (and so do the children) - getting our hands dirty, finding new creatures and the fresh air is sooooo refreshing from the house that has been closed up all Winter.  Learning about how seeds start and grow... .
