Garden Club Harvest Sale

"QUICK QUICK QUICK!

HARVEST SALE!!!"


On the first day of summer The Garden Club harvested their fresh meadow green silver beet.

Mr.Wood took them to the teacher's staff room so we could sell them to teachers and raise money, so the next time we grow our garden we could afford to buy seeds to keep on the fantastic progress.

They have been growing for 7 weeks and we have decided to harvest them. So that the next time they are fully grown (in week ten) we will harvest it again and hopefully it would be a lot bigger.

I would just like to thank all the Garden Club members for making sure the garden is always watered and healthy as it is their responsibility.

The Garden Club's First Harvest

On the 19th of November 2010 the garden club got their first harvest of silverbeet.

We had 20 big bundles of silverbeet. We still have some silverbeet growing as we harvested the big silverbeet leaves. We have such a big group and have a roster for each day, lunch and morning tea.

Each garden club member took home a bundle of silverbeet, and we gave one to our principal.

The Garden Club Story

 The Year 6 Garden Club has explored gardening in term one. We have sprouted beans. We have dug compost in to soil, watered and feed the plants. Some we planted as seedlings and some, like radish and carrot, from seeds. All have grown so quickly. Luckily we have not had too many problems from caterpillars, snails and birds.

Garden Club members, please tell us about your experience this term with the garden.

1. What did you do?
2. How have things changed?
3. What has been the best thing?
4. What would you do differently?
5. Have you enjoyed the learning experience?
6. What do you recommend for our next garden in term 4?

How does our garden grow?

Our Garden Club is very excited by the success of our small patch. We take turns watering them daily and we look out for caterpillar eggs and snails. Last week we found the radishes and carrots we plated were growing too close to each other. This would stop them growing nice and big, so we pulled out some of the seedlings to give more space.

Garden Club

Our Year 6 Garden Club has planted their very first edible garden. After tasting and smelling some herbs and vegetables from Mr Wood's garden we got to work. We dug in compost for food, then planted seedlings and seeds. Lastly we watered our garden. We are taking turns watering it everyday.
