School Gardening Club
Last week the gardening club was rained off, but today was fine and 40 children and 2 teachers managed to plant 82 garlic plants! Not bad going for 30 minutes work.
Two weeks ago the children busily planted lots of carrots and sunflower seeds. Today the children were very keen and eager to see if their seeds had germinated. I am pleased to say that some of the seeds have germinated, so it looks like we will have entries for the longest carrot competition and the tallest sunflower competition.
Next week we will plant some radish and lettuce seeds and pot on some radish and lettuce seedlings that I have already started off in my greenhouse.

If you would like to grow garlic then Thompson and Morgan supply garlic.

What a wonderful idea … the children must have had a great time and were learning something in turn.
I will look forward to seeing some pictures. Thank you for visiting my blog!!

Hi Kate,
Yes the children did have great fun. They didn’t want to go back to class!
I meant to take photos but then I got so busy that I forgot!!
Thanks for the comments.
