Welcome back to Garden Club for Term 3! We are hoping for more settled weather and more opportunities to get out into the garden this term as we have quite a few things planned as we head towards spring.
Some of our plans for this term include:
- Weeding and feeding our existing crops
- Sowing seeds for our spring crops
- Developing the wildflower and ANZAC poppy gardens
- Creating some garden art
- Cooking with our delicious produce
- Holding a mini-market day to sell our produce to raise money towards a garden shed.
We got started on our gardening for this term by spending some time in the orchard today. There were lots of sneaky invasive weeds in and around our fruit trees so we pulled lots of these out. We also planted lots of daffodil bulbs that were really desperate to get into the ground. Hopefully they will flower for us this year. We also divided up some of the garlic bulbs that we must have missed when we harvested the garlic last year. This is a bit of an experiment to see if the individual cloves will fatten up into bulbs. We will have to give them lots of food to help them grow.
Otis and Ben also spent a lot of time building a house for some baby snails and a spider that Otis found underneath a big rock. Hopefully the snails will stay in their beautiful house and not come out to eat our plants!
