Gardening club restarted this week - we have a lot of work to do as there has been many weeds grown over the summer. But many hands will make light work! We have been able to harvest some of the vegetables that we have grown - we got the last of the peas, the potatoes and onions. Our onions are huge and they taste really good too!
All pupils were able to take home some potatoes and onions to reward them for all their hard work.
Our pumpkins are coming along nicely as well and they are getting very big.
We have noticed that there are loads of lovely ladybirds all around the pumpkin plant - we think it must be attracted to this plant. We also found loads of caterpillars. Here is Shea with one of them.

We decided that some of the vegetables we had grown was not that great for growing in a school as they needed more attention over the summer months than we were able to give them.
The ones we definitely want to grow next year are:
- onions
- potatoes
- peas
- pumpkins
- lettuces
The ones that we did not think worked well were:
We will try some other vegetables instead of these next year. Will update next week with our progress.
