Gardening

We started our gardening project before Easter. We planted potatoes, carrots, turnips, beetroot, peas, beans and salad leaves. We have four raised beds. We learned that we needed bamboo sticks to support the peas and beans as they grew. We also had a problem with cats and birds eating our plants.

        We had to place netting over and around our garden to protect them.We have been keeping a diary. We record everything we do and we also draw pictures of the plants. We have really enjoyed it and we have put learned that it is far safer to grow your own vegetables as you don’t know what sprays have put on the veg you buy the shop.
