Busy Bees in the Garden

Look at our amazing garden! Thanks Sally for taking Alex, Bayley, Summer and Phoenix to Mitre 10 Mega. We are so lucky to have your help. Sounds like they had fun buying plants and spending the afternoon weeding and planting.  Such busy bees.

What did you guys plant? We would love you to make comments and tell us what you planted and why?

 

 

 

Our Garden

Hi Rooms 19 and 20,

Alexander’s mum Sally here.  Yesterday I came and helped some enthusiastic gardeners in your class vegetable garden at lunchtime.  What wonderful kids you are to be learning how to grow your own vegetables.  We weeded all the garden and I found a weed called Oxalis, and we had to be really careful to get all the little bulbs out with the soil still around the roots, as it will spread easily if the bulbs are left in the ground.  We also put this weed into the rubbish bin, not the compost, as the compost won’t break down the bulbs and it will spread to other areas of the school when the compost is put onto those gardens.  We have also put some stakes in to help the tomatoes and the peas grow taller, and don’t forget to water the garden every day if it doesn’t rain.  After that, we were wondering what we should plant next.  It is autumn now, and we could get some things planted that will be ready to eat in winter.  What do you think would be good to plant?  Let me know if you need anymore help with the garden.

Sally
