Little green shoots

Today, the children began by checking on the beetroot and cauliflower seeds that we planted a few weeks ago.
The beetroot hasn't germinated as yet, but the cauliflower seeds have begun to sprout.
Next, we ventured outside to check on the onions and garlic in bed number 8. The children were very excited to see that little green shoots were poking out of the soil. The soil had started to dry out and so the children gave it a light watering.

We also planted some mixed lettuce leaves and salad onions in bed number 5.

Finally, the children documented the new sowings on their garden plans.

Next week, we plan to sow some wildflower seeds.
