This Monday I am offering all my readers a free e-book: Developing Christian Character Through Gardening. All you need to do is click on the link to download! I have offered this e-book before, but just recently edited it, clarifying a section and checking the links to make sure they all still lead where they are supposed to lead. Just click to open, and feel free to share the link to this free resource with your friends! I only ask that you link to this entry rather than directly to the download so I can get “paid” through the small amount of traffic that might generate! Thanks!
Note: Clicking on the link should open a pdf. It worked several hundred times, and then stopped working. Appears to be fixed, now. If not, please contact me.
Since I would like to write more e-books, I would love your feedback. Are the instructions clear? Do the lessons fit together? Is there something missing? Is there a lesson you particularly enjoy? Why?
Let me know what you think, and enjoy gardening with your children!
And while you are gardening together, please consider Sharing the Harvest!


Roscommon Acres is a place to stop and discuss news and information related to faith, family and particularly education. Turn your children out on the pasture, pour yourself a cup of tea and join the conversation!

Thanks for offering this. I’m considering giving it a try this year, although it’s sneaking up on me again. Last year I wanted to as well but was too late. Threw a container garden together but that failed (wonder why lol). We’ll see what happens…

Thank you so much for sharing your hard work. It looks great and we desperately need encouragement with this. We try a bit each year, starting seedlings but then never get the ground dug up; trying containers, but forgetting to be consistent in watering. I really want to make this work this year for the kids. Thanks & Grace be to you! tamara

I’ve had a lot of difficulty starting seeds in the past. They always either drown or dry out. I’ve rarely gotten any to survive my attempts at starting early. Except when we tried cloches.
If you have something to make a cold frame out of, you might try that. Not so overwhelming with the confined space, and you can start seeds out there without all the problems associated with indoor seed starting.
At least in theory. That’s what I’m trying this year, I think, but I haven’t done it before. The cloches worked well, however, and I’m guessing it is about the same.

Thanks for the free book, I’ll share it at a fireside for those interested in gardening and preparedness set for this next Friday evening. I’ll be sure to let the fellow in charge of the gardening portion of the fireside have a look at your site; you always have great ideas.

Thank you for the book. My family always grows a large garden every year, and I try to find ways to use it as our summer school program. This will give me a guide to keep me on track. It’s a beautiful day in the Ozarks today, so I think we might start today. Thanks again.

That sounds wonderful! We sort of started with a cold frame, but we’re a long way off from planting. Still waiting on my seeds!
I hope you enjoy the ideas shared!
