Great to have the sun shining today as we got out and gave the raised vege garden beds a much needed weed. The children enjoyed seeing what had grown over the holidays, what had gone to seed and what was almost ready for harvesting. Quite a bit of restraint had to be shown so that the potatoes and carrots were not pulled out along with the weeds.
We also filled little paper pots with seed raising mix today and sowed some more Flanders poppy seeds for the garden beside the office. Hopefully these will germinate in the next two weeks. When the seedlings are big enough we will transplant them in their little paper pots straight into the garden. The pots will decompose in the soil so there will be no rubbish to get rid of.
Next week on Tuesday the 5th of August we will be having a mini-market day from 2.45- 3.15pm to sell produce from our garden. If anyone has any fruit, veges or seedlings that they would like to donate for us to sell then please drop them off at the office on Tuesday morning. We are fundraising to buy resources for garden club and also a garden shed to keep our tools and equipment in. We look forward to seeing all there and we thank you in advance for your support of our garden club!
What a great idea with the paper pots. I had a look at the raised gardens today after lunch and you all did a great job with the weeding. I can't wait to see all your wonderful produce at your mini-market.
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to the Flanders poppies outside my window! I'm also looking forward to buying some of the fresh garden produce for my dinners this week.
