Guest guest Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 She might do better with flowers, too. I've never seen a little girl who didn't like flowers. May pick them off for Mom and at a shorter length that you would need to put in a vase. Float them on a plate with a bit of water. She is just a little young. It may be better when it is time to take off fully grown vegetables. You can show her what to take off and let her do it if she can.  Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Monday, May 28, 2012 11:54 AM Subject: Re: Look at this!!!!  My grandparents got me involved in gardening from a young age, so it would be nice to get my daughter involved. She's a bit of a pest at the moment, into everything. It will be nice when she calms down a bit. She likes to watch me harvesting my sunnies and pea shoots so maybe when our outdoor tomatoes are ready we can start to encourage her a bit more. Right now though, soil is for picking up and throwing!!! Charlotte > > > OH, you have a WONDERFUL opportunity to teach you lil one all about gardening while she is little! Let her HELP you...then she won't be so inclined to be curiolus about the pots! My daughter (now 17) has been " helping " me with my indoor gardening since she was about 2, so your timing is great-take advantage of it! Talk about good bonding time! My most prized moments with my daughter were having her learn to cook and garden along side of me from the time she was big enough to stand on a stool...she was also much more apt to eat the things she helped to grow and cook! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I like fresh peas and frozen peas. I don't care for canned peas or at least not as much as the fresh ones. I like them with macaroni salads for the color and the fresh taste. I like them alone too. I can't eat them well with a fork though and may have to use a spoon. I am trying to figure out what peas to get as seeds to plant. Maybe I need to get peas for sprouting and then plant some of them. I haven't tried them that way. My green beans that I planted are about 6 or 7 " tall now. Those I am raising outside in a container. the tomatoes have come up about a couple inches so far but they sure took awhile, but certainly not like the flowers. I think there is a problem there. I need to put another shelf unit together to get them down lower so I can see them. I only have one of the little plastic cups removed and the rest are still on there. I even put the reflector on that one since they were not doing well and I thought they might not be getting enough light. , how often do you change your lights in your AG's? I am picking off lettuce leaves when they are 2-3 " or so long. Looks a little skimpy though. Can't imagine getting enough off them for a complete salad. It is a nice addition to a salad or sandwich though.  Carolyn Wilkerson  To: " sproutpeople " <sproutpeople > Sent: Monday, May 28, 2012 11:53 AM Subject: Re: Re: Look at this!!!!  Yes, but if you grow your own peas, you will have the seeds for your shoots!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 The US Gov'ment takes bribes to look the other way. So the chemical companies get away with a lot of things that are killing Americans ew Re: Look at this!!!! As far as I'm aware GMO is not cool here in the UK, we don't grow GMO crops in this country so any GMO's that get into the food chain are imported. Mainly used in animal feeds. From the UK Defra (Department for Environemntal Food and Rural Affairs), 'To ensure consumer choice EU law also requires any approved GM products to be clearly labelled, including foods derived from GM crops that do not have a detectable GM content.' Something the US should be working towards, as I gather the US grows and uses A LOT of GM soya amongst other GM crops. GM soya caused a public outcry here. Scary indeed!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Looks like the doctors' would lose their licenses if they testify falsely. This was an outright lie. and then looks like they and the CEO would be placed in jail. This is crazy.  There is too much greed and selfishness among top CEO's anymore. And so many are just dishonest and sometimes are guilty of fraud on a regular basis. Look how many were in Ponzi schemes. Looks like they would realize that they have to fall eventually.   Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Monday, May 28, 2012 5:57 PM Subject: Re: Look at this!!!!  There was an article on this very thing in today's Mercola newsletter: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/05/28/flame-retardant-he\ alth-hazards.aspx?e_cid=20120528_DNL_art_1 > >GMO is scary stuff> > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hi Would someone tell me what link you are looking at? I don't see where it is listed. Thanks, Phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hey Phyllis, This is the l ink that was in the original post... http://3rings.designerpages.com/2010/07/01/hyundais-kitchen-nano-garden/ I think this discussion has split up in discussing GMO's and HFCS. So I am not sure which link or links you are looking for. R. On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 8:14 AM, Phyllis wrote: > Hi > > Would someone tell me what link you are looking at?
