A Sunny Day in the Secret Garden

Today was our second meeting as year sixes in the Secret Gardening Club.  It was very sunny weather, perfect for gardening and the soil was nice and damp after the rainy day we had a couple of days before.  

First thing we saw was how well the pumpkins were doing ...

Then we finished off taking the soil out of the beds.  Our caretaker, Steve kindly lent us a wheelbarrow to make the job easier.  We made the soil into a huge pile in almost no time at all. Hopefully daddy can now dig the new beds in properly.  

After we had finished that dirty job we planted some onions that my mummy had given to us.  They looked exactly like normal onions just much smaller and mummy said they were called onion sets.  She told us to plant them with the pointy side up and only deep enough so that the tip of the pointy side was above the ground.

And look what we found whilst we were preparing the bed for the onions!  Doesn't it look like an animal?

I would like to say well done to all the Secret Gardeners for all their hard work in moving that soil.
