Want to know a little secret? I'm dying for a homestead. I want chickens and a garden and land and a farmhouse. I really can't wait for the Lord to open the door for us, because this 900 sq ft house in a little subdivision isn't cutting it anymore.
Our little yard is probably one of the biggest in our neighborhood, but it's still tiny. In efforts to save as much space as we can, but still dream big, I've been doing lots of research on Pot Gardening (and I don't mean marijuana "pot", I mean gardening inside pots instead of the ground).
This way, we can explore having a little garden and not sacrifice all our space. Which really got me thinking that this was the perfect opportunity to tie our homeschooling into a hands-on activity that's also gonna feed our bellies. Hopefully, one day. I'm staying positive on that one. Our little garden will give us the perfect opportunity to incorporate gardening into our homeschool curriculum and give us many more opportunities to explore learning; bugs, soil, composte, plant life, flowers, water cycle, etc.
Are you thinking about how to incorporate gardening in your homeschool curriculum?
So when I told Johannah that we were gonna grow a mini garden, my outdoorsy girl jumped on the bandwagon and couldn't wait to get her hands dirty too! In this house, we don't mind getting right down filthy when it comes to fun, which is why I'm so glad that I can trust Dial Complete® 2 in 1 Moisturizing & Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash to kill all that nasty bacteria that tries to linger around!
By getting hands on with our curriculum, we're helping our littles to get excited about learning. Plus, there's so many other perks; like teaching your kids to be responsible, that hard work pays off, and that science is cool! All by taking the time to incorporate gardening in your homeschool curriculum.
On our way home from our local conservatory, we stopped by Target to grab a few more essentials. I may or may not have passed through a few clearance isles, but I definitely didn't leave without a few bottles of Dial® to fill our bathrooms. We knew we'd need it after planting our new seeds in that funky organic composted soil.
I let Johannah pick out whatever flower seeds she wanted, and she chose Sunflowers. After that, I chose a couple fruit seeds. We were hoping to find a great strawberry plant, but they were sold out so we ended up with watermelon and cherry tomatoes with a handful of herbs (chives, cilantro, and basil). Then in true girl fashion, Johannah couldn't leave without her own watering can.
Once we got home, I sat back and gave instructions while she filled each pot, planted each seed and watered them. Which made for quite the mess, but I didn't mind one bit because she loved every minute of it, which made my Mama Heart smile.
I'm just happy that our Dial® soap has 2x moisturizing ingredients vs regular hand soap and it kiltls 99.99% of bacteria* with fun and great smelling flavors like Manuka Honey, Pearl Essence, and Rose Oil. If you want to join the cool kids (I mean us) and purchase some too, you can find coupons on the back of the packages right in your favorite stores, like Target!

We just put our plants in some little biodegradable planting pots and once they sprout we'll transplant into a bigger pot. I'm thinking of using something like a small watering trough and adding some more fruit and veggie plants like strawberries and cucumbers, and then getting a herb pot for our herbs!
