Most of our grocery store food today is hybridized, making the seeds non-usable. The Perpetual Garden contains enough seeds to plant more than 3/4 acre. These varieties are easy to grow, non-hybrid, open-pollinated vegetables that have been especially selected. Your unopened seeds should store at least four years (usually much, much longer depending on storage temperature). These seeds have been carefully dried to their optimum moisture content to increase their storage life and are hermetically sealed in triple-foil packages which can be re-sealed. They are then doubly protected in a sealed #10 can. Includes instructions for planting, harvesting, and collecting seeds for a perpetual garden.

Homeschooling Questions and Answers

How do I convince my husband? How do I keep from getting overwhelmed? I (Diane Hopkins) am the author, and this volume is a result of 2 decades of counseling families in how to train and educate their children joyfully. Learn the answers in this volume of actual questions from parents. Photos throughout. Spiralbound.

Happy Homeschooling


view

This book is written from my heart to yours, both to help new homeschoolers get started and to help veteran homeschoolers get some fresh ideas. Nothing we offer generates more positive feedback—especially the article entitled, "The Baby is the Lesson!" Maybe it is because we all need a little help to keep going, along with some creative ideas, encouragement, and inspiration. Even though I wrote it, I go back and reread it when I wonder if homeschool is really worth the sacrifice. Topics cover social life, schedules that work, child discipline, a rotating academic plan for making sure you cover everything, the value of memorization, best books for read-aloud time, getting kids to do their schoolwork, how to make grammar fun, what to do with your toddler during homeschool time, father's role in the homeschool, dividing up the chores, preparing for college. . . and much more! Unique and essential information. Spiral-bound.
