After a wonderful summer holiday and a hot February we started back at Gardening club in March. Lots of old faces returned and a few new gardeners joined us. With the support of our parent leaders Andrea Hannay, Tanya Sheridan and Lisa Paniora, we began the year by weeding the flower and vegetable beds and planting carrots, leeks and rocket. We also prepared the soil to plant potatoes.
Last week we made the interesting discovery of a very large slug. After doing some research we found that it is called Limax maximus (biggest slug) commonly known as the leopard slug because of the markings on it's body. The one we found was 10cm long but they can be 10-20 cm so we will be keeping an eye out for it to see if it grows bigger!
