Growing season

 It's growing season and our plants need plenty of water. The tarmac around our raised beds bounces up the heat and the soil dries out very quickly.

We spent time giving the beds a really good soaking especially our potatoes which are growing well and needed earthing up last week. This means pulling the soil up around the stems so the potatoes growing underneath don't go green.

Before we did the watering we taught ourselves about the different parts of a flower by drawing giant chalk cross sections of a flower onto the playground.













At the end of our hour we had a look to see if anything was ready for harvest and found these broad beans:


We ate them straight out of the pod - yum!
