Oh, how sweet! I’ll have to show these pictures to my children–they’ll love them.

Happy Mother’s Day!

I just clicked a few links and if you go to the publishers page that you link, you can even see a sample chapter from the Thompson book. It is the one on which chemicals you need, safety issues, etc. Very informative.

I have always liked the idea, at least, of the Benedictine way of life–although since my impressions of it were garnered from Rumer Godden’s novel, In this House of Brede, I’m not sure I really know what that means.

I shall look out for The Craftsman…

Sheila, that was last month, early April and then the mid-April blizzard. Much better now — as of yesterday, the perennials are popping out! I’m still going to wait til the weekend before planting much more, it’s supposed to be 0 tomorrow night. I’m just itching to plant my pots and get some blooming annuals in…

I’ve been meaning to get back to your anniversary reno post to enjoy it properly, i.e. not on Bloglines with a cup of coffee (or two). It’s been such a darn busy week!

Angela (hope you’re all feeling better!), I was so disappointed when I moved into this house to find no windowsills, and only one window with southern exposure. I do have a tiered, lighted growing stand, but it’s just not the same as a window of plants.

Mrs. G., my kids have been “watching” the plants as one would television. My youngest swears he can see the seeds unfolding : )

Thanks, Sheila and hornblower! Sheila, the sweet peas haven’t jumped out of their little seeds yet. I just plant them directly, haven’t had much luck with transplanting them so far.

I thought it sounded delicious — glad you all agree!

Speaking of high school science, I’ve also been looking over

“Hands-On Chemistry Activities with Real-Life Applications: Easy-to-Use Labs and Demonstrations for Grades 8-12″ by Herr and Cunningham, and “Hands-On Physics Activities with Real-Life Applications: Easy-to-Use Labs and Demonstrations for Grades 8 - 12″ by Cunningham and Herr,

It’s nice to have a few choices…
