I would think that "all" would include children. Looking at your site, I
don't see anything particularly for kids. Perhaps you could direct me to
the children's content.


I'll agree.. Nothing kids directed here either.. Know, I dislike people
who banter their own stuff but more so when it's done in a misdirecting
manner.

Here are some good kids gardening sites for anyone interested in which,
what a novel idea, have information about kids and gardening in them.

Thanks Scott, I didn't know that I was looking for these sites until you
posted them. They all appear to be good sites for motivating kids to
garden, rather than taking the spectator approach and just watching.

When I finish my harvest gig as a winery lab monkey, I return to
substitute teaching and the chance to affect students and their
teachers. You would be amazed at the scant time dedicated teachers have
for research after their work day plus administration meetings are over.
It might even be tougher now that "No Child Left Behind" is intent on
drill and kill. Boring rote memorization followed by interest killing
tests.

I went to high school in '57, the year Sputnik went up. The government
suddenly knew how to improve education: $pend.
