Week+4

Hi to all our energetic gardeners!

WOW ! what an amazing week you have spent in the garden.

Even though this week we suffered through the most fierce of winds you were all champions and still came along to our Garden Clubs. Thank you all for being so enthusistic as this always brings such a smile to my face.

This week we planted some citrus, a 'Tahitian Lime', a 'Lisbon Lemon', a 'Kaffir Lime' and a 'Washington Navel Orange'. We have started another potato garden bed with lots of mixed organic materials loaded into it. We put together our worm farm last Friday. The five girls who attended last Friday's club were all screaming as they opened the lid on the box of 1000 composting worms. Some were very brave and picked them up and observed the worms' bodies whilst a few of the girls stood back and contemplated what next they were going to be asked to do with these worms! Yuck-o work! ... But developing this worm farm will bring such lovely rich organic fertilizer to our garden.

As the weather starts to warm up I would like to remind you all to remember to bring along a hat. In Term 4, in line with the College 'Sun Smart' policy, all students will have to wear a hat in the garden. We encourage all children to wear sunscreen each day and we will have factor 30+ sunscreen in the garden shed for everyone to use if needed.

See you in the garden next week, Happy Gardening

Sue.
