An incredibly warm welcome to 2014!!! The garden just gets bigger and better, as do the incredible smells and flavours from the student kitchen!
Over the summer months the garden has survived the extreme heat – probably better than some of us!! The students are very excited to see “the pumpkins plants going crazy and the pumpkins already so big!” The stunning “sunflowers are standing super tall”, the tomatoes are turning “green to red” the large variety of flavoursome herbs and “beetroots that are bigger than a softball”. We start to say goodbye to our strawberries and hello to apricots- yum!
Students continue to enjoy making their own pasta and tasty pasta sauces – kale pesto this fortnight! They will make salads of their imagination, all sorts of breads and pastries, pickled cucumbers and bottle tomatoes, just to name a few! All recipes can be found on this blog – enjoy!
