Little Seedlings at Eco-Kids Tuesday

Spring has sprung!

Time to get some dirt under our nails... And pretty much everywhere!

Last week Bunny and I started some seeds in egg cartons.

Tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, egg plant, spaghetti squash, cucumbers, cantaloupe, watermelon, and more!

A couple of days ago, we were excited to find that several of them have already sprouted.

  

 

Today, we are planting sugar snap peas and a few other things in our little box gardens out back.

I can't wait to have them full of fresh, healthy, homegrown, organic veggies!

I am so appreciative of Becki from Organic Aspirations for allowing me to co-host Eco-Kids Tuesday and of all the bloggers who take time to link up their great eco-happy ideas to share with me and you!

This Week's Features

Bunny is ALL about worms.  She hunts for them everywhere, looking for big ones (mamas) and little ones (babies).  She is going to LOVE making this earthworm habitat shared by We Made That!!

Who Has Time for the Gym shared great nature scavenger hunt! 

This is something I plan to do with Bunnny and the playschool children!

Something I am very interested in is edible plants in nature. 

We teach of playschool children about dandelions and violets being edible.  Bunny knows to hurry and get some plantain (as well as how to chew it to make a poultice) for a friend's boo-boo or bee sting. 

A Life Unprocessed shared a wealth of info, as well as very good pictures, on edible weeds.

Hazel and Company have been planting seeds, too! 

Her little ones enjoy helping mama, just as Buny is loving helping me with this task!

We have been eating totally sugar-free (even very limited natural sugars for now), gluten-free, and unprocessed foods-free since January 1st, with a lot of good success (weight loss, better attitudes...).  This recipe from Sift, Stir, and Savour is one I am going to try out when we need a special treat!
