We soak the roots for about 15 minutes in our big purple tub. Daddy had already dug the whole last night so we filled it in with a mix of the existing dirt and gardening dirt. Then put mulch around the base to keep the ground around the trunk moist. We used this method on the nine trees we planted last year and we only lost one over the winter.
Ta-da! Tamarin and I discussed photosynthesis and looked at the diagrams in this book.
We read this book and I printed a journal page from this freebie on Currclick so that the girls could draw/write their ideas or what they have learned.
I'd never heard of Currclick. Looks like it has a ton of things to use and a lot are free!
Tamarin is on top of recycling now. She is checking everything and asking if we can recycle it. I love it! I used to recycle everything before we moved. I mean, to the point it drove my husband a little bonkers. Then with the move, pregnancy, farm stuff, etc I gave up, other than taking the aluminum cans to my grandfather. I'm excited to get back to it. What I used to do was take a load to my grandparent's every week. I'll have to see if there is a recycle center near here cause Capuchin now takes up the only previously vacant space in the car.....
