And we are off!

Homeschooling all three girls........

Our Journey Begins

Saturday 23rd February 2013

    We started the process of homeschooling with a session in the great outdoors, even though there was snow beginning to fall. Lily and Katie had been looking forward to start  pulling on their wellies and getting stuck into the mucky stuff and planting their seeds for the forth coming growing season. So they dragged Ray out into the garden to get going.

                                                                                                          

      

     Lily (bending). Katie laboring and Ray keeping them both on the right track

They started by getting all the compost from the compost heap to fill up all the pots, borders and planters ready to receive the bulbs and seeds.               

                             

                             

When all the compost was in the right place the job of planting began.

They planted:

seed potatoes

sweet peas,

garlic,

tending to the daffodils

and plenty of watering!

Hopefully the hard work will result in a bumper crop later in the year. Great fun was had and they look forward to tending to these and doing lots more planting as we move further into spring and summer.
