True story…

We had a full garden going.

Tomatoes growing

Plants thriving
Harvest right around the corner

And then…

We had to move 😅

Months before everything was ready to harvest.

So we had two options:

Option 1:

Leave the plants behind

• No one would be there to water them
• No harvesting for us
• No tomatoes

Guaranteed outcome: nothing

Option 2:

• Load them up
• Move them
• Replant them
• Hope & pray some survive

Even though…

They were mature
They might not survive
It might not work

Very uncertain outcome

So naturally…

We loaded up a trailer full of plants like crazy (but determined)people 😂

(Tomatoes in the trailer… tomatoes in the back of the Expedition… probably a few rolling around somewhere)

And hoped for the best

The result?

Not all of them made it…

But enough did

We ended up with a decent harvest

And here’s the lesson

Sometimes your choices look like:

“Definitely nothing”

Or

“Maybe something”

And “maybe something” is almost always worth the effort

Homeschooling can feel like that too

• Trying something new
• Switching curriculum
• Changing your approach

Not knowing if it will work

But doing nothing?

That guarantees no growth

Final Thought

Not everything you try will succeed…

But some of it will

And sometimes…

That’s more than enough

We build homeschool curriculum for kindergarten through twelfth grade. Come see what is in the shop.

Watch: our homemade roasted tomato sauce

Here is what we do with all those tomatoes once they are ripe.
