Discover the Forest
Have you seen this billboard?
Discover the Forest
I love it.
We have always been a nature loving family. Backyard adventures are common place in our household. From finding snakes and turtles to digging for salamanders, to catching skinks, to feeding the birds and checking our field guides to learn about the different birds in our yard – we love the outdoors.
I’ve been seeing this billboard around our area for a few weeks now. I really, really agree! UNPLUG. We recently disconnected the internet in our house. The first week, the kids were bored during their “free time” that would have otherwise been spent on facebook or youtube. But guess what? Now that a few weeks have passed, they’ve discovered a whole new world of possibilities! My teenagers are riding their bikes again! They take walks and read books. They browse through cookbooks looking for new recipes to try. They aren’t bored.
So even if you were like us and limited the amount of time on the internet or video games, etc. perhaps your family would benefit from unplugging from technology and experiencing life again. The world is a beautiful, amazing place! Don’t deprive your children. Give them nature.
And by the way, Discover the Forest has ideas, activities, and free printables for teachers and kids! Be sure to check it out!
Here’s a few ideas to get you started:
Planting Vegetables in the Shade
There was a beautiful rainbow over our house recently.
You could see both ends of the rainbow!
We live on a mountain. We have lots of really big trees. That means we have a lot of shade. I did some research about which plants do well grown in partial shade and here is the list I found:
- salad greens
- arugula, endive, and cress
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- peas
- beets
- Brussels sprouts
- radishes
- Swiss chard
- leafy greens
- beans
I am hoping to plant beans in our front flower bed (which doesn’t get a whole lot of sunshine) with a border of cabbage and beets. Maybe it will even look pretty!
Some of these plants do well in containers, too. Salad greens, broccoli, beets, and more can all be grown in large containers.
