Crop Rotation Cycle

Standard

My garden has been very productive this year with its never ending stream of zucchinis (sigh), peppers, green beans, tomatoes, herbs etc. I just pulled out my Zucchini plants. The space is replaced by radish and beet seeds for the fall. Looked online and realized that I messed up. According to the crop rotation cycle, a heavy feeder such as zucchini should be followed by a heavy giver. Radish and beets turn out to be light feeders. Lesson for next time.

Meanwhile Tanya and Leena visited the local science museum Discovery Space, and had a great time digging up dinosaur bones. Tanya made a note of all the bones she found to present to her dad!

Little scientist!

To escape from their endless fights, I declared yesterday as an art day. Tanya and Leena made caterpillars from egg cartons and did some coloring, sticker art etc. Tanya even cleaned her room. I love art days!

Johan kept busy with fixing up the cabin  and getting winter ready. He worked on the cars and the news is that we have bought an electric car. Wait, wasn’t that last week?? No actually, we are now (almost) the proud owners of a second electric car (sigh). Pic coming soon!
