" 3 O h o m o Cm i m FAMILY RUN FO R O V ER 10 YEA RS. & FALL REGISTRATION Watching your garden (and little gardener) grow (C ontinued from D 3) to put the empty seed packet or plastic insert in the soil next to the plants to mark their spot. W atch it g ro w - Grownups will have to do a little work to pre pare the garden. First, clear a space no more than six foot by six foot and loosen (or aerate) the soil with a shovel. Teach your junior gardener that the secret to a healthy garden is the soil and explain that plants must eat and drink, just like people. Show your child how to prepare the soil by digging five centimetres (two inches) of peat moss into the top 15 centimetres (six inches) of soil. Ask your child to feel the peat-enriched soil and then explain how peat moss acts like a bunch of tiny sponges in the dirt, adding air pockets that hold moisture, giving roots room to grow. Peat moss also will help the food (fertilizer) and water last longer in the soil. Let your child's personality shine through by accessorizing the garden with homemade signs, a child-size chair or brightly coloured yarn on stakes. Then help your child plant the seeds or seedlings according to the directions, and be sure A great way to keep your child interested in the garden is to encourage taking pictures of it each week. Snapshots will show off the changes across the season. Garden tasks will be easier to remember if you put a garden calendar in your child's room or on the refrigerator. Children can take charge of completing the tasks and crossing off the days when the watering and weeding have been completed. Invite your child to cut flowers from the gar den and arrange them in a vase. Or suggest shar ing some cherry tomatoes with friends and neighbours. Allowing children the creative free dom to design and care for their own garden will give them a sense of independence and accom plishment. Your new gardener will be so proud, and the roots of your child's gardening knowl edge will grow strong. 5*-® S' Home computing helps bring the family together s every parent knows, the busy sched play new DVD movie titles on their PC, or send ules of today's families make it harder the output to their television set.
