YOUR SPRING VEGETABLE GARDEN IN 75 MINS OR LESS.

​I started some seedlings over the  weekend,  inside with the help of my 3-year-old daughter.  This gots us started into gardening way before any planting can happen outside, plus gives us a jumpstart on the harvest season by almost 1-2 months.  Last year we planted outside in the middle of March in raised beds covered with frost cloth.  By the end of April, we had tons of arugula, kale, collards, lettuces to eat and many different radishes to pull out.  You’ll be surprised at how excited children are to pull out a beautiful rose colored radish and their excitement to eat them right there on the spot.

I’ve also been starting seeds indoors with all my students to get them ready and excited for the planting season ahead in their school gardens.  It’s been a really grey and dark few months and growing seedlings inside gives them a chance to think about the outdoors and really get their hands messy.  Just look at these faces!  The excitement of putting their hands in dirt is contagious.  For many of the little ones, ages 2-4, this is their first experience planting anything and also the first time many of them have heard of or seen some of these vegetables.

​It’s truly amazing when I hear from a parent of one of the students I teach, tell me how their child has come home and role played an entire lesson to them. This is how it works.  The kids teach the parents and there is no struggle surrounding vegetables and getting their kids to try new things.  Children are innately curious, and in a workshop or classroom setting are eager and excited to try anything new.
