We successfully sprouted! Check out our artwork with said sprouts. These heads were eaten (some more willingly than others) and some of the leftovers were composted. We have officially started our school’s compost pile for the garden, mainly comprised of food scraps brought in by the kids, though I have contributed maybe more than my fair share…

We also started a discussion about problems with changing our diet, what are problems and what are consequences of our eating habits, and how do we feel about this situation. Not a lot of response, but I hope that will blossom over time. I want the kids to change their eating habits, but I’m also interested in talking to them about this situation, and thus far there has been a lot of one sided talking (me) and I’d like to equal that out a bit. We’ll see how this develops as our adventure continues! There is a work day this Saturday to start the garden growin’…I can’t wait to see some broken ground!

Happy healthy eating,
Andrea
