Kids in the Garden - A Workshop

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

>>How old is he? What's his hypotehsis/plan etc? >Bill

>  Matthew is 4.5  really smart  pediatrician suggested we have
  him tested because the University of Tulsa...

>I mean, can't all 16 month olds pick the violin out of
  a symphony and imitate it??? I didn't know! Haha!

*I had a Strad' myself when I was 5.

>Anyway, I plan on teaching him the correspondance course put out by Calvert
School and reinforcing with

*Interested in how you chose this, what others you found... and
have Links to a site wher I learned much about Home school, but
it's in Oklahoma, maily LOL.  (That's where I found some of my
smarts.)

>Today our little one (one year old) ambled into one of our new
beds and Matthew ran over to him and helped him out saying
"You can't go in the garden beds, Josh...the plants don't
like packed down soil!"

*Good question, a one year old with size 01 Child's...
How many psi is that?

>Did you see their pictures?

*Can't say... That would be Off topic.

*I was just today, saying my grandmother told me rhubarb had to
be put in the freezer for 6 weeks, in many areas of the country.
I must have asked her what other folks do, because we were
in Wyoming... and that's not an issue there.  I was 4-5 and it
was about 1955-6.

*I want to suggest a book,
"How to Raise a Brighter Child," Joan Beck.
-----------------------------------------------------------
>>I consider anything...to do with gardening...on topic,>Lisa

>I agree, FWIW. but I don't want to ask someone that doesn't
have the square foot idea at heart. Kim

* Yup, But I still want to know why 'they' left eGroups.
If the reason is good, maybe I'll move too.

*But even as some 'dis' Ortho, I say take the value it has,
leave the rest.  Some have agreed.  Some good info will not
be found readily within a even a 300 person resource. A germ
of thought follows a thread, and as with courses of history,
some areas don't chance upon that which crossed that path.
I do NOT suggest leaving here. Sq Ft is good.  But a couple
more groups gives you "foreign seeds" to try here.
Some will be Sq Ft compatible.  Rather like, you can
Bonzai, almost any plant... So why not use Sq Ft principles
to Sq Ft something never Sq Ft'd before?  The brains are
likely here to help you try it!  Take something else,
and twist it into Sq Ft.  Or as one peverse individual
did, Sq Inch <LOL> (See Olin... Below. <g> :>)

*In any event, I'd like to hear about modified Atari 400s
and 800s and Commodores.  It's a stretch tho.  Sometimes
the thread tests one's patience, so it could be worked out
elsewhere, the results posted here, or just a link.  In
any case, Please Fwd posts to me about that thread.
And for whoever wants, I made a workshop of sorts which
you can use for the ugly details.

=======================================================

Feel free to circulate it to any Garden, or near Garden
related group.  They/you can use it as 'More than a Chat,
Less than a List/Forum.'  Sub and UnSub when you're done,
or stay Subbed, and read messages on web, or in mail.

Maybe someone from a different group will have an odd
thread or problem or something interesting.  It's an
'after -work bar... a vacation chalet.
A Home away from home.

All Options are open except the Member List I closed...
especially since it's for cross-group use.
Manners STRICTLY enforced.  Copyrights and Intellectual
Rights Secured!  (That means yours, not me taking all
those rights for my own.)

If two of you have a thought
you can email fine, easy to accomplish, or IM, etc..
If 3 or 5... then you need to borrow a mini-List.
For a day, a week, a month.  There it is.
Come.  Use it like a loaner tool.  Go.  Or Lurk.
It may be very unbusy.  Fine.

It has chat, Links, Files, etc.  I'll start putting my
Links in. They won't seem like much. But I use a system,
a pyramid sort of.

I've been going around to all the dozens of Lists I'm on,
and helping them learn to put Links up.  (One poor gal
crashed last week, and lost ALL her Links!  Years of work.
And everyone scrambles to do the same, instead of using
a central location and a few backups.)  I will give Links.

They will be Links to the Links of others.  When you go
there, you can look at their Links.  (Certain of them
I've given sub-Links, for Off Topic stuff, so their
ON Topic links are On Topic.  Sort of Sub-Links.)
Not a perfect system, yet.  I've found a flaw,
rather a lacking ease-feature and have to refine it.

Pat/Olin (Olin, you're a card, but don't think that
Sq Inch stuff is gonna fly!!  Nosiree ! LOLol)

I thought I got all the timer stuff.
I hope the extended answer Pat thanked Olin for was
just my explanation of timers after Olin posted,
then she, and I didn't miss anything.  Credit is
unimportant.  I'm just into the electronics/electrical
side.  The rest, too!  (I don't watch much TV,
then it's PBS, etc.)
Bill
