Homeschool and Gardening

     With spring comes our yearly planning of our garden.  I use our garden as an opportunity to teach my kids science, home economics, and so much more.  Gardens help with keeping our food budget in check as we harvest.  This year we have moved our herb garden inside.  We are lucky enough to have a greenhouse window in our kitchen.  It is a great spot for all the herbs I love cooking with.  We had our herb garden outside last year and the chives and thyme came back. So we transplanted some of the plants into their new homes. we also planted rosemary, lavender and basil.  We worked on the herb garden today as part of school.
    
     Also this year we are planting tomatoes one cherry tomato and one or two roma tomato. We are planting corn, carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, and a few other things. I also am getting dill for our herb garden.

     I love canning so I like using the roma tomatoes in my homemade sauce.  I also use many of the fresh herbs and bell peppers in my sauce.  I will share my recipe and a blog about canning spaghetti sauce at harvest time.
This is our herb garden!!!

Until Next Time
