We have been delighted with all of the seeds that were sown back in April and May. All of our sunflowers have now grown and been potted on and have been given a daily water. Our strawberries produced a lot of fruit and our potatoes grew very quickly and we were able to harvest a small basket full which we cooked and enjoyed at snack time. The pumpkin plants were slow to start with but now have grown so big they have grown through the fence across the grass. The beans have also had a sudden growth spurt and just as we broke up for the summer holiday we were able to pick some along with the ripening tomatoes.
This term we have taken cuttings from our herbs and along with our surplus plants were able to set up a small plant stall which was very popular with our parents and friends on sports day. At the end of term each child was able to take home their sunflower.
