hi guys... thanks for your thoughts. i'd like to point out, when i asked about "fun for kids", i was, in fact, talking about what would be fun for a kid who is turning THREE in january. not a teen, a tween, or 10 year old. my ten year old just finished her fifth grade science project on the purple cone flower, and did an awsome job. she knows how to garden.
i did think, it would be "fun" (oh lord, did i SAY that word?" to try and grow a teepee for the little guy.
of course, now that i know better, i will sit him down, and teach him about soil composition...... betsey "we do not inherit the earth, we caretake it for our children"
