Boston Marathon Bombing:  How devastating and tragic.  My heart aches for the people who died and who were injured.  You just never know what will happen.

Bonnie Cabbage Plants

This year the third graders each got a giant cabbage plant.  These plants can grow to be the size of a basketball and weigh up to 14 pounds.  They love the cold and can be planted at any time now.  If the temperature is going below 32 degrees, cover the plant with a bucket.

Additionally, one student from each state has the opportunity to earn a $1,000 scholarship from Bonnie's Plant if they submit a picture of themselves with their cabbage plant in September. 

I'm also trying to grow some cabbage plants at my house.  I have noticed that the plants need a LOT of water.
