Science for Today-Vegetables and Fruit

After we left behind mass chaos and confusion at our local grocery store, we made it home in time to meet the mailman at the mailbox.  To our delightful surprise, he brought the first seed catalogs of the year.  Oh the rejoicing in our house!  After lunch and naps, we perused the catalogs.  The Boy Wonders looked at every page and every vegetable and every plant.  Girl Wonder sang to them.  Together, they made quite a list of the vegetables for our garden.  We talked about which veggies would grow in our area, the overall difference between veggies and fruits, and which veggies we would grow when.  Currently, our list has about 35 items on it.  Yes, it will have to be pared down.  My garden isn't that big.  The WonderKids are so very excited to get started.  Boy Wonder #1 made a request for sunflowers in the mailbox flower bed.  He pointed out that we couldn't grow veggies in the flower bed since it was only for flowers.  Smart boy, that #1.

"And this one, and this one, and this one, and this one."
