Roller Skating and Sprouts

IMG_7598

Today was the last day for Homeschool Roller skating.  My kids have really come to love this monthly activity.  And for me it just brings back tons of memories!!  Saturdays at the Golden Gate Roller Rink.  Waiting for a good song and holding hands while skating.   Sometimes even walking over to Laparoe’s Pizza afterwards.

After skating we drove out to a Nursery we have never visited before.  I went to get some heirloom tomatoes and peppers.  It was a great place with great prices!! I will be ready to plant this weekend as long as the weather cooperates.  Time to plant a second round of lettuce.  THe first is just about ready for some picking.

As is the arugala.  THe kale is coming along nicely as well.

And inside I have been working on some sprouting.  Mung bean sprouts should be ready in a day or two.  And the broccoli sprouts will follow.

    Gorgeous shots (as always!) Do you have a favorite nursery for organic plants? We’ve never vegetable gardened here (save a few tomato plants) but i’d like to plant organically-grown plants rather than the fodder at Home Depot.
    Thanks!

    PAIGE—sorry so late replying, but I went out to Bakers Acres this year. Not organic, but heirloom. You can try the farmers markets.

    Great pics and fun learning experience. We always plant a new vegtable garden every year with the kids. They love getting dirty and its a great opportunity to teach them about the plant growth and food cycle.
