Hot Potatoes! Planting Session May 10, 2011

One potato, two potato, three potato, four! Let's read a story about potatoes. Then we will head out to the garden to dig in the dirt and prepare the soil. We will plant red and yellow potatoes, maybe even blue. In September, come back to dig the potatoes. How big will they have grown? We will chop and bake and fry some delicious potato snacks as a reward for all of our work. - - All ages welcome; up to three children per adult.
