Broad beans ready for spring

Today although a bit damp, we had a great time in gardening club.
First everyone was able to harvest a raspberry (or two, three, four...) by now all the children remember where the raspberries are and what is a ripe one, as well as what it tastes like.

Then some of the group harvested the last of the runner beans (well if we are lucky in the next few weeks we will get a few more, but the glut is over)

After that everyone filled their plant pots with compost and planted a broad bean in it.
labeled it with their names and what they had planted in anticipation to have a lovely plant in a fortnight or so to transplant into one of the by then empty beds.

I have got some poached egg plant plug plants that we will plant around them as a companion plant


With Agi, the children made some Russian dolls  to give them an idea about what an onion looks like inside, one ring, fitting into another ring, just like the Russian dolls.
