Our Beautiful Garden

When we planted our garden we also planted some iris bulbs in the corners of the each class plot. They have flowered now and if you look in our garden you can see these huge beautiful flowers. They are delicate purple and cream with splashes of yellow. Each plant has at least 2 flowers growing off the stem. 

Spring is around the corner!

Our Garden

Our garden is growing very well. The carrots are getting really big and now we have a few sugar snap peas. First we saw the flowers and they have turned into little pea pods. When they are bigger we will eat them.

Matariki and the Great Big Enormous Carrots!

We planned to harvest some of our roly poly carrots on Matariki. Today is the day of the first moon after the arrival of the matariki stars in our sky. We had to pull and pull until the giant carrots gradually eased out of the ground. "Wow ", we all shouted. Most of the other carrots still need to grow a bit more so we have left them in the ground to grow. Mrs Chao washed and cut them up and we ate a bit each .

They were sweet and fresh and we loved them!

How is our Garden Growing?

Wow ! The garden is so lush and full! It is amazing how much all the plants have grown. Last week we added some food with sheep pellets which has given everything a good boost.
Jack told me he could see a real big carrot like you get in the shops, poking out a little bit above the ground.
Room 9 are going to try their radishes and Room 8 has very edible looking silverbeet.

Do come and have a look when you are next at school.

It's Growing!

Look at our lovely garden! The plants have really enjoyed the weather and have taken off. 

We have little carrot tufts and sugar snap pea plants with little leaves. Even the iris bulbs have shot up and look like little onions. Everything has grown. 

Thank you to all the people who have watered the plants over the holidays. Take a look on Monday and say hello to the plants. See if you can name everything in our garden.
