After a wet, windy and wild weekend we were blessed with a sunny afternoon today.
We seized the opportunity to head outside.
We began by planting some beetroot and cauliflower in pots and trays. These have been put in our mini greenhouse (which will hopefully stay upright now it is weighed down with two bags of compost!).
The beetroot and cauliflower plants will be transferred to the raised beds once the risk of frost has passed.
We then turned our attention to preparing the raised beds. The children used the hoes and riddles to break up the surface of the soil and dug in some soil improver.
Whilst digging one of the children hit something hard which we thought was a rock. On further investigation, we discovered it was a cute little gold bunny garden ornament! (piccie to follow once he has had a bath)
The children have decided that he is going to be our Garden Club Mascot. Hopefully he won't turn out to be like Peter Rabbit and munch all our veggies!!!
