Keep summer learning going with kids' garden By Kathy Van Mullekom· Reap what you sow. Often a vegetable garden is abandoned after the initial spring enthusiasm. Keep the project going by adding marigolds, new crops and different game-like lessons. Power off everything and get out in the garden · kids and parents. When you fix burgers and dogs on the grill, add some vegetables from the garden and munch a bunch of what you grow.
Best books "Gardening with Children" by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, $9.95, features kid friendly gardening/science projects such as: · "Root View" garden, cutting out a half-gallon milk carton and creating a "window" where you can see the roots of carrots and radishes as they grow from seeds. · "Fun with Fungi," learning how to grow beneficial mold using bread, plastic baggie, cotton swabs and water. · "Butterfly Window Box," using annual seedlings like marigolds, dwarf zinnias, globe amaranth and petunias.
