More Planting!

Today the first thing we did was look at how well the spring cabbage were going.  They have been growing bigger than ever ...

After that, weeded the old pumpkin bed and planted some more onions and garlic in there.  Our last crop of garlic seems to have been eaten by something - birds or squirrels?

After planting our alium bed, we added compost onto one of the new beds that my dad put in two weeks ago.

Then Gabriella and I planted some broad beans in it ....

Before we planted the beans, Gabriella ran string in two lines to show us where the beans are growing in their rows.

Well done to all the gardeners for their hard work planting new crops.

Introducing the Secret Gardeners

Today I have decide to let you meet some of the Secret Gardeners, but first I will tell you what we did today.

Firstly, we cleared the strawberry patch of any grass that was lingering around.

Then we raked one of the new beds ready for planting.

After that we had a look at our spring cabbages - look how they've grown!

Our onions have done well too ... and we cleared the weeds from around them

And now ... I have great pleasure in introducing you to some of the Secret Gardeners ...

Harvest

Today we dug up the pumpkins and weeded the bed so that we could plant some garlic in there. 

Look at our onions!  They've sprouted already ...

and here are our pumpkins on display for the Harvest Festival at school.  After the festival they will be given to Janine the cook and hopefully she will make them into soup or roast them for our weekly roast.  Yum yum!
