Welcome to our first day of planting for 2013.
With 5 keen gardeners from Sanderson Whanau, we got to work on planting from a choice of nasturtium, sunflower, snow pea, courgette, or tomato plants.
We talked about what the plants needed to survive, especially in this hot, dry weather, and how to handle them gently. As the soil is so dry and clumpy, we have used potting mix in the planting hole, to give the plants a better start. As soon as a plant was planted, the children did a great jobs of giving it a good water... And we must remember to do that every day!
