Providence, planning your garden


We did a much better job of reading the book this week, and I thought our book discussion on Old Yeller was much more lively, engaging and productive! Yeah! Did you feel like you contributed more and got more out of it? Keep up the good work!

Remember to mark your calendars for our March 5th field trip (12-2:40) to The Evergreen State College aquaponics/organic farm/permaculture displays. I think it is going to be really cool, hope you do to!


This coming week:
     A. read Little Britches and be prepared to discuss it
     B. Habits:
           1. Core Book studies - 5 per week
           2. Math lessons - 4 per week
           3. Write in log book - 10+ minutes per day, 4 days per week
           4. Garden - finish Garden Plan worksheet, decide what seeds you want to purchase or order. If you want me to add yours to my botanicalinterests.com order, let me know. You can look at what they offer online, or I will bring the catalogue again next week. You are of course free to search and get your seeds anywhere you want (or even get transplants: but they are a lot more expensive and harder to find non-GMO). Planting time is coming quick. Many seeds can be planted out at the beginning of March around here, or even earlier indoors or in greenhouses/minigreenhouses. While you are waiting for planting time, you can prep your garden beds or containers (probably too early for rototilling though). I personally don't like plastic, but many people cover their beds with plastic to warm the soil earlier.
