It’s amazing the kind of help you can get when you tell your friends and family that you’re homeschooling your kids.  Dr. D attends our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).  I went to visit her one day and told her I was homeschooling my kids.  As a retired school teacher with a Masters in Biology and PhD in Business Administration & Social Change, Dr. D offered her help.  She has been teaching the kids each week about how to grow a garden.

So far, my children have learned how to plant seeds, water plants, apply fertilizer, thin out plants, identify weeds and remove them, and thank God for helping the plants to grow.

Last week we harvested mustard greens, turnip greens, bok choy and green onions.  I made a wonderful pot of stew with the mustard greens.

Can’t wait to learn more from this awesome teacher!  Thanks Dr. D!!! 😀
