Our neighbor plowed my field last week so I’m planning on getting peas and beans in this week. I’m also going to be getting a lot of seeds started indoors.<<<
Wonderful, I am so glad for you and a little jealous.
It is good that you are teaching the 9 year olds how to garden and plant seeds.
She's been learning since day 1 :) I was weeding my tomato and pepper plants with her in a snuggli the week after she was born!!! We still lived in town at the time but I did have a 10'x20' garden in the yard.
Her friend down the road also helps out and the friend's 3yo sister is also going to help this year. Their great-grandparents still farm and so they (sort of) know what they're doing.
I grew up in NYC and gals I went to HS with (30th reunion is this year) still tell me they can't imagine me being a "farmer."
