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 =)
HEY – that’s my handwriting! =) Are you kidding me?! You kept the card???? That is fantastic. That just totally made my day.
THANK YOU.
Well THANK YOU so much for the card..I had it on my fridge until we started our 2011/12 school year =) We could all use some luck, right?
That’s so awesome Grandma got the kids gardening tools for Easter!

Sigh, I wish I could grow ANYTHING but weeds.
I love those kits! Too cute!
I love the little garden bags and tools! The kids’ grandma and papa picked them up a small shovel and hoe to help us this year. The kids are so excited! I am looking forward to seeing your garden this year!
