Growing with Christina

In keeping with our survival theme, Skyler's Mom, Christina came in last week to help us with planting. Yes, planting in January! We have planted lettuce, sunflower, chives, tomatoes, potatoes and a few other seeds. When we first began, Christina asked the question, "What do plants have to do with survival?" the responses were: to give us oxygen, to give us food, to help us breathe, to provide shelter. We plan to expand on these ideas over the next few weeks as we delve into the theme of survival. We will also revisit these themes again in the spring when we attend Ohio State's Scarlet and Gray Ag(riculture) Day in May.
