Our Edible Garden

As well as making a worm farm we also planted vegetable, flower and herb plants in tubs.
Initially we decided against planting an outside garden because we were worried it would be damaged.
Michelle and Sally taught us how to plant our veggies and flowers.
We put a mixture of compost and soil in our pots and mixed them together like making a chocolate cake.

Then we put in our plants. We planted rainbow silver beet, pansies, thyme, rosemary, lettuce, strawberries and some seeds.
We put our tubs in a sunny spot that will also get the sun.

We are really excited about our plants growing. We are also going the use our worm fertilizer to feed the plants.
We have even dug up an old flower garden and planted it out with sweet peas, sunflowers, lettuce, strawberries, and some cool looking broccoli.

In groups we planted potatoes in a bucket and in the last week of Term 4 we are going to see who has the heaviest potatoes. We are really excited about this.
Who knew growing a garden was so much fun!

We would like to thank the Farmers Market Trust for their help and for donating the plants and tubs to grow our garden.
