Tomato's and Lettuce's planted.


Above and right: Today Charli and Chloe helped in the garden by planting out one of the 'Early Girl' tomato plants each. We haven't raised these from seed at kindergarten but we have planted them into yummy compost from the worm farm. We have staked the tomato plants and have placed a mini 'fizzy drink bottle' hot house over them to protect them from the elements (it is quite windy at times at the moment). 

Above, right, and below: Today Jessica (right) and Chloe (below) sowed TUI Gourmet Lettuce seeds in the garden between the tomato plants. We put TUI Quash round the edge of the garden bed to stop Mr and Mrs Snail and all the little snails from eating our lettuces when they sprout. 

Thank you for all your help today girls. You are learning about how to care for plants and your kindergarten environment. Great life  long skills. I hope that you are becoming passionate about growing food to eat too.
