A plant a day keeps... um... me entertained and educated?
I don't subscribe to many things online because I hate spam-- but I do make exceptions. For Cool Mom Picks newsletters, for example. And now, for the free Plant of the Day email by Your Garden Show.

See, I have a black thumb and a very green brain. But I love the fun plant facts from former Better Homes and Gardens Garden Editor Mark Kane that now arrive in my inbox, and I'd imagine a lot of parents, educators and general horticulture fans will love it too.
I signed up for Plant of the Day myself, just to make sure it wasn't obnoxious. And now I look forward to it, because they choose genuinely interesting tidbits to pass on. There's also a link in every email to a blog posts containing planting information, fun facts, videos, and links on that day's chosen plant. My kids are too young to appreciate this info, but I can see elementary school kids getting a kick out of plant emails that are easy-to-read and downright fun.

I can't grow my own veggies, and I probably don't eat enough of them, but I now have a goal: To  become the Trivial Pursuit expert for vegetative matters.~Delilah
