Let the Gardening Begin!

 

     OK, so the gardening should have begun a lot sooner since we are mostly starting seeds, but we never really get going soon enough!   As you can see, we are using those expandable jiffy pots.  The kids get a kick out of watching them 'grow'.   This year we are using this plant light, but it is too hot and directs light mostly in one spot.  I think I'm going to switch back to the florescent bulbs.

Candy Bird Nests

This Spring the kids and I made those candy 'bird nests'. Kind of like rice krispy treats only cute. It is a slow process but easy and takes only a few ingredients. I found this recipe somewhere online. You can use just half the ingredients if you only want one pan. I liked that these were not sickeningly sweet. Some recipes use other things for nest material.
