Pumpkins are in

Today, the children planted out some pumpkin plants. The variety we are growing are called 'Ghost Rider' and are particularly good for using as Halloween lanterns.

We also watered the veg that had been planted out on Tuesday and labelled the beds with the names of the veggies growing in them.

So in time honoured Bullseye style, here is a rundown of what has been planted so far!

In 1 - the Italians call them zucchini, they can be green or yellow - yes they're courgettes.

In 2 - they are big orange can can be very spooky - they're pumpkins

In 3 - no Christmas lunch would be complete without them - they're Brussels sprouts

In 4 - this variety is January King - It's winter cabbages

In 5 - just keep cutting and they'll come again - they're salad leaves

In 6 - nothing yet (unless you count the weeds!)

In 7 - great with cheese - It's cauliflower

In 8 - don't cry about this one - they're Spanish onions

In 9 - they dig a good beat - It's beetroot

And bully's special prize, the crazy guys on the block - they're wildflowers!
