I have written a little about Victory Gardens in past posts but recently I went so far as to incorporate them into our homeschool curriculum!
We used the booklet found HERE to calculate how much food we would need as individuals and for the family as a whole. Then we calculated how many rows of each vegetable we would need to supply those needs.
Using those numbers we were then able to calculate how much space we would need for a Victory Garden that would supply us with the majority of the fruits and veggies that we would need to give us an adequate amount of nutrition. This was a little more complicated than we originally expected and it took us several days to calculate the number of beds and rows that we would need.
We made it through January! I sometimes find it helpful for me to see what posts and resources we have used over the past little bit and to see what other people have been looking for as well. Here is a quick round-up of just those things from our blog this past month.
These lessons were made to go along with ‘On The Banks Of Plum Creek‘ written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. We are planning to go through the whole series and I am keeping track of the different topics we are learning about here on my blog. We hope you enjoy these as much as we have!
On weeks where there are several activities listed just choose a couple that interest you the most to work on.
Tip: If you want to go to a certain week/chapter simply push the ‘ctrl’ and the ‘F’ button down together and a small bar will pop up. Type in the week number or chapter number you want and it will take you to it.
Look at a sample of pond water under a microscope and compare it to a sample of tap water. Watch this video if you don’t have access to pond water or a microscope.
