Marty,
   Also, i will hope to take some time (ASAP) to give my opinions on the kid's garden project - can't yak now much.
In my previous life in CA, i was gardening teacher in a public Waldorf Methods School - and loved working with the elementary kids - many inner city kids from the hood! we had organic ( excuse me - "naturally grown") vegies, flowers, small vineyard, beginning orchard, and Kindergarten Gardens.   It was fantastic for all.  I have alot of unused ideas to share. 
Alas, here in KY Appalachia, no one would ever consider such as real education, even in this mountain farmland.  The kids simply are not farming much, learning anything about growing their food supply for either home or profit.  The young ones are becoming quite clueless, and their grandparents are passing on without such knowledge dispersed to them.  AND the schooling is abysmal!
Will write soon, or write me off list if not quick enough at: tonitime AT gardener.com
