We planted one row each of spinach and lettuce today and watered it like crazy. The plan is to plant another row of the spinach and lettuce in two or three weeks so that we can scatter our harvest a bit. The earth is still pretty cold here in SE Wisconsin, so adding frames large enough to cover the plantings, along with a plastic covering, will protect the veggies from any frost while adding a greenhouse effect to the concept of growing.
I am looking forward to the rewards that will come, not only from the produce that will grow, but also from watching my daughter and her friends respect the garden and enjoy all that it has to offer. I think the kids have more fun playing in the garden in the summertime than on the playset in the yard. It is a learning opportunity for everyone.:)
