Monday 13th August

During the weekend, Alex had been busy in his garden planting broccoli.
On Monday he asked his mum if he could bring one in to add to our broccoli patch.
With teacher support he dug the hole and planted his broccoli - great to see you so involved and excited about our gardens.

 Today when we went outside we found some containers full of rainwater.
As we are working hard at promoting sustainability and developing a sense of environmental awareness, it was suggested that we use it to water our gardens. We are working on other ways to efficiently use the rain water in our environment.

Something is finding our broccoli particularly... and it is not the children! 












The peas we grew in the egg cartons have out grown there cells.  It is time for them to be transplanted into the garden.  We found a nice sunny spot for them along the fenceline so they can grow up some meshing.... yet to be scavenged!
We cut the individual cells of the egg carton and planted it as well.  The rest of the egg carton was broken up and scattered around the garden.

Sanna was very involved in this gardening.  She planted the seedlings, taking care not to harm the roots

Our peas are growing so well!  They have such a warm spot to grow in.
