A friend of ours is making a large order to www.sproutpeople.com. We are so excited! It is a great start to our first year of gardening.
We are ordering:
Broccoli Sprouts Pea Carnival Mung Quinoa Wheat
To be used in bread and baked goods and on salads. Our little experiment with the Garbanzo beans went really well, even though they were not considered the "sprouting" kind..all 10 of them sprouted!
This summer, we're going to follow the Square Foot Gardening method. Our soil is horrible, anyway, and I like the Mel's Mix that he uses--I don't have to worry about weeds like in normal soild.

Travelling Friend Project
Pooh has been on Hiatus for a few months. He did visit Utah, California and Wyoming, though! As soon as he is ready, he will be taking a LONG journey to Ballarat Australia to visit Dawn's best friend Katrina. More to come soon!
This is our geography project. The idea is to send our little friend--Pooh Bear--around the country (and the world, when possible). We learn, through Pooh Bear, his location (geography) and the local culture.

"An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't." -- Anatole France
"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think." -- Anne Sullivan
