O how I excited I am! For those who dont know, the HSV host a Garden Challenge each year. Rules are pretty simple– grow whatever you like,blog about progress and link up each month. They have AWESOME Sponsors as well. Last year Heavens garden was one of the winners and this year , we are trying just as hard for that spot

After we won, we were sent a great gift card but my favorite part was,  it was in a card that said “Best of luck this homeschool year” and that card hangs on the wall of our homeschool. To me it was a symbol that someone out there cares (even at the times I feel I’m alone in the homeschooling world)

Last year we had to pick our corn early due to the giant raccoons around here. This year I want to be prepared so I will be building a pen I found on Pinterest. My MIL was kind enough to get the kids tool bags and tools for Easter, in them came cucumbers and watermelon. I might start them in the house while the pen is being constructed but I know now not to plant out in the open where critters can eat my food (-_-)

(Excuse the mess on my desk)

The next link up is “Thursday April 26th sponsored by Apologia.  Link up & share your progress! Did you “break ground” or still growing starter plants?  Are the kids excited, do you see any buds, or are you fighting army worms?”

So make a post, link up today (or through the week) and get ready for a challenge =)
