Bulbs

The last two meetings have been cancelled due to heavy rain, but last Friday we were back and thank goodness the weather was lovely and sunny!

A few weeks ago we had some very important people from Capital Growth come and inspect our garden.  We made some special signs to impress them and it worked!  Now we have a certificate and special plaque for the garden telling us we are space number 0122.  Hopefully they will try and find us a shed so that we can keep our tools somewhere safe and we can hide inside if it starts to rain!

On Friday we decided to do some planting for the spring.  But first we had a look at our broad beans - Look at how they've grown!

After we'd admired our broad beans we started planting some flower bulbs in clumps around the vegetable beds so that they will look pretty in spring and attract insects.

We didn't know what sort of bulbs they were as they were all muddled up but we tried our hardest to put them into groups.  

It was quite hard getting them in, but mummy helped using a special hole maker to cut holes in the ground.

We can't wait until spring to find out what we've planted!

After that we did a bit of weeding.  We'll be back again next week unless it rains ... or snows!
