First we harvested 44 garlic bulbs from bed 2. Some where bigger than others so we will sell them in bunches of 5. This worked out well as we could practice our 4x tables. Today we will be platting them together to sell in the shop later after school at 50p per bunch. (this was changed by the children they felt it should be £1, they will now wait and see if this is the right price!)
Although the onions are still at the outside of the bed, the middle has now got space for a yellow courgette that we sowed last week. We shall be transplanting this after the half term so we have some courgettes before the summer holidays.
In Bed 3 we transplanted our French beans, they were looking good, we sowed them mid April and needed transplanting, hopefully we don't get a night frost, fingers crossed.
We also put up a little wigwam in between the peas in bed 4. The peas are not doing that well, so we hope that the runner beans that we transplanted will do better. Once all these are harvested before we go on holiday, we shall transplant a butternut squash in the middle. Ready for the autumn term.
The little ones transplanted their pots of lettuces in between the strawberry plants in bed 10.
Strawberries are looking healthy and in full blossom, hopefully the lettuces will give us some lovely early summer salads.
When it came to wild life, we saw a little frog and a wasp making its nest (maybe not so good to see but very beautiful)
