How to Teach Kids to Love Their Veggies
ByWe all love to see our kids eating veggies but I have to say that I have been thrilled to see the transformation of our kids, at Semillas de Amor since we began the vegetable garden. We have lots of different types of lettuce. The kids typically don’t like salad but with all our new tasting lettuce they are loving their salads and the journeys into the garden to munch on freshly picked lettuce leaves, giant radishes and carrots.
Our slideshow shows the kids in the garden yesterday, as well as time outside with the dogs. The kids decided that Bodhi had laid some eggs, thus the avocados in a circle and then one hatched, the dinosaur (sadly without a head which I am sure on of the dog ate). It is wonderful for the kids to be outside and to spend their time in creative play.
However, the down side for me is that it can be nearly impossible for me to get my fundraising job done because it is so much more fun to be with the kids.
Enjoy the photos of the children.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to keep our kids fed and our staff paid. We are very, very grateful. Savesemillas

I’m envious! We never seem to have enough lettuce, and for the life of me I can’t find Romaine!

Mark, when the lettuce started to grow our gardener wasn’t sure what everything was. He is use to iceberg lettuce and I like all the fancy stuff and different tastes. Romaine is hard to find, especially for the sizes of your group. Any room for a garden at your place? Lettuce is so easy to grow. Put those kids to work gardening!
