Education

Hey All,

I have mostly been a lurker for awhile and have enjoyed reading your
posts.  My first attempt at gardening (square foot even) last year was
a dismal failure, primarily due to the incredible succes of eight weeks 
bedrest to ensure a healthy baby which arrived June 14th.  (Do the
math, There goes May, plus and minus 2 weeks!)  I'm not
complaining--just got a   bonus bumper crop o' boy instead of 'maters!
Now that it's time to start thinking about seeds (again) and since I am
homeschooling my 5 & 7 year olds, I thought that I'd like to use the
garden to teach my oldest all about stuff.  I don't want to do too much,
but there's so much to learn from, composting, soil chemistry, Other than
plant a seed and water it (which is what I'm going to do with the 3 and
the 5 yr old ) what do y'all recommend as a good educational start for a
bright 7 year old.  

Btw, I'm zone 7 (I think) in Nashville, TN.
