RE: STEEMIT SEED SAVERS - MUSTARD GREENS
Hey, @papa-pepper! Many hands make light work.
Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece.
An evil man sows strife; gossip separates the best of friends.
Wickedness loves company—and leads others into sin.
Proverbs 16:27-29
Gathering seeds for next year is so important on the homestead. And having the kids participate is an extra bonus on so many levels. We love spicy brown mustard and it fairly simple to make. Once you make it the first time, you'll never want to go back to plain old yellow mustard.
I love this! I tried to explain the "Many hands make for light work" to my step-daughter this summer...she didn't get it. But I'll keep trying!
Well, yr situation is probably a little more difficult since you have step children. I went through this with two step sons. It took the older one a little more time to adjust but with patience and perseverance, he eventually came around. Making chores a game and fun helps a lot. Best of luck.
It is hard - her school is year-round, so her summer breaks are only 30 days - which means we get her for 1 month out of 12. We try to influence her as much as we can, but it's hard to make a real impact over skype or in a month. We try to live the way we want her to be (hard working, responsible spending, caring, etc.) because I think showing how to do something is better than telling.
