I work for a residential facility for kids with autism and we take some of the kids to a horse stable to help groom and lead. We also plant a garden during every season. We just harvested the hugest turnips and radishes, unfortunately the arugula wilted because of the winter storm we had. We also retrieved some peas and we are going to use the peas to start a new garden. Yesterday we put seed starters for flowers and a vegetable I forgot at the moment. I'm going to make mashed turnip with the kids and brought the radish to the kitchen for the salads at work. During the summer we had the biggest cucumbers I'd ever seen and they just kept coming. I taught the kids to make a creamy cucumber salad. The boys loved it, the girls not so much. I so look forward to your farm note. Thank you!
Oh wow that's cool! I'd love to be able to do all my hanging baskets from seed - really need a good heated greenhouse to make that happen and we decided not to invest in that just yet...maybe down the road. Can't wait to hear how they turn out for you! And I'm familiar with Dave's Garden - thanks for sharing!

This sounds like such a wonderful time and such an amazing opportunity for the kids. Glad you get to take part in this!!!
This year I started Viola from seeds. They are going great guns. No blooms, yet.
My favorite online gardening reference is Dave's Garden. It's everything from soup to nuts. davesgarden.com
