What I Learned This Week

When a scheduling change forces kindergarteners and third graders to work in the garden at the same time, don't panic.  They will form buddy gardening teams all by themselves.

Earthworms can have play dates with each other.

Earthworms eat banana peel crusts.

Even when you are trying so hard to make every minute count, be sure to check your legs when the kids keep asking, "What's that on your legs?"  Don't dismiss the question, thinking, "It must be time to shave." Instead, take a moment to check it out.  It just might be the bumpy pattern deeply imprinted on your legs from kneeling so long on the sitting pads.

Because each earthworm is both male and female, it is not a HE or a SHE, but an IT.

Just because a container has a cap, it doesn't mean it's on tight and won't spill.  The Mobile Garden Shed just might end up smelling like Orange Organic Ant spray.
