Microgreens

Last week we had a bit of a group change around, as the juniors were on the Life Education bus in the afternoon. So as a one-off, the group started some micro greens for themselves. We chose cress, so that it would be ready this week, to take home, and the children have done a great job at keeping their pots watered and cared for... And this is the result!

Finishing the potting.

A rainy day for our last session for the term... And a few more of our seedlings needing bigger pots! So we spent the afternoon helping each other pot the last of the plants we had started from seed. The plants seem to be very happy living up under the tree nursery, so we shall leave them there over the holidays and plant them in the garden next term.

We also had a quick look at the edible garden to see if there were any more snacks available, and the children could identify all the plants: very impressive!

Sunflowers!

No club this week because of the long weekend.... But our sunflowers don't care! They are looking great.

And the nasturtiums are happy too.
