October

We created lanterns for Halloween from our pumpkins

Everyone got stuck in scooping out the insides

We saved some of the seed to plant pumpkins next season

 

      We carved out scary faces

Our display in school

We harvested, and washed some of our cucumbers we couldn't wait to taste them

Also this term we have done some willow weaving

September

 

I would like to welcome our new gardeners to gardening club.

 

 

 
 

 

 

We got busy on the plot and got stuck in planting.

  

We planted leeks, cabbages, cauliflowers and onions.

 

    
 The vegetables we planted needed watering in

 
 

Thank you to all our gardeners for an enthusiastic start to a new gardening year.

 

July 2012

Gardening club were busy strawberry picking

on the plot this week.

 

We also picked some of our other

soft fruits raspberries and blackcurrants.

We all agreed though when it come to tasting

that we all preferred the strawberries.

We also harvested some

of our carrots and lettuce.

 

We gave them a good wash

and got tasting.

 

We can hardly believe that it the end of term and

will be breaking for the summer.

I would like to say a huge thankyou to all our

gardeners who have worked so hard

 in gardening club this year.

June 2012

Gardening club have been busy planting on the plot.

 We planted flowers, squashes, sprouts, courgettes and pumpkins.

On the odd occasion when it has not rained we have watered our plants.

We planted our pumpkins. These are our own pumpkins which we have propagated from seed.

We are going to see who grows the largest pumpkin, so we have labelled them with our names.

May 2012

This term we have set up our wormery.  

 Each week we will feed the worms

with fruit and vegetables.

They will break down the
waste into compost
that will feed our garden.

We planted our runner beans
 on the plot.

We used lots of different varieties.

I wonder if any are magic beans.

                                                                  

We also have put in our potatoes. 
and planted some cucumber plants.

The sun has been shining and the weather

 has been hot so we have been busy watering too.

         

April 2012

This term Gardening club have

been planting and propagating seeds

We planted lots of different types

                               of squashes, gourds and pumpkins.

We filled our propagators up with soil.

  We all got stuck in planting the seeds.

We watered them and put them under glass.

This will help them to germinate

     and grow much more quickly.

                                    

It has done nothing but rain, we have not been

able to get out on the plot as often as

we would like which makes us a bit sad.

There is a saying that gardeners use to cheer

ourselves up when it rains lots at this time of year

"April showers bring May flowers"

Lets hope it comes true
