4B Garden Fun!

All our groups had our tasks explained to us in the beginning, then away we went! One exciting thing we had never done before was planting carrots. We never knew that the seeds were all on a string and we planted them 1 cm deep. We covered the seeds with soil and we watered them with worm tea. Some of us cut off the big leaves from the pumpkin plants. The leaves take away all the nutrients so when the big leaves are cut off the pumpkin will grow much bigger.

We planted lettuce and then covered them with plastic bottles. We cut off some long celery stalks which will be used in the kitchen. The chooks were fed and we gathered 3 eggs. We were to put the kitchen scraps inside the chook pen and overgrown brussels sprout plants behind the pen. Some of us put the brussels sprout plants inside the pen! The chooks were not amused!

Yesterday, Monday the 24th of February 2014, 4A had a garden class. I’m in group one and we did a few tasks. First we fed the chooks and took out egg shells, tea bags, citrus and avocado pips. Next we collected the eggs that the chooks laid. Then we refilled the chooks’ water. After we got some seeds for some stringless beans and planted them along the fence. During the process we did some weeding and put the weeds in the compost and tumbled it. It was extremely fun.

The next day we had kitchen. We got our groups. We made salad with carrot, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, avocado and capsicum. The other groups made hummus, tomato sauce pasta, apple and beetroot muffins and tomato, basil and fetta tarts. My group finished first so we set the table. It was a delicious meal, so filling that I did not need to have my recess snack.
