November's Harvest

From the co-op garden

Sunflowers!

Levi planted these sunflowers from a tiny seed, transplanted the seedlings into his garden, and watched them grow! They got to be over 6feet tall. Unfortunatly, something ate the seeds before we got the chance to save them.

Honey-comb: its amazing how perfectly each hole is shaped! We checked this out with a magnifying glass and also read "The Magic Schoolbus Inside a Beehive".

Levi showing off what he helped to grow! Potatoes, onions, peppers, eggplant.. made a tasty dinner!

And of course we got some more fresh made honey too... its a lot lighter in color this time!

Mini Garden

We got a little garden kit that came with paints, seeds, little mushrooms/house, fairy, gems and a plastic tray (you could use one of those trays that go under potted plants to catch water). We planted the seeds and, like everything in Florida, they grew very fast.

It was an easy and fun project to make a little fairy garden!

Community Service

Levi, my mom and I volunteered at Space Coast Early Intervention Center.

It's never too early to stary helping your community! Levi loves gardening so this was a fun activity for us too. We planted a ton of flowers, trimmed and removed some plants, cleared debris (Levi dragged huge palm branches!), watered, and some people even extended a sandbox area.

It was dirty and hard work, but lots of fun!

Produce from our garden

We get a lot of our organic produce delivered to our house, but latley have been thinking about trying to find more locally grown foods. Less transportation of food means less environmental impact on its way to our table, and it will be fresher too!
Levi and Nai Nai (my mom) have a small garden in the back yard, where they grow whatever happens to sprout when they plant seeds. This is a brocoli they grew, it tasted great and was as fresh as could be, cut, cooked and served right away!
