We like to keep a journal of what we do in Gardening Club. It helps us to remember interesting things about the garden - we can look back on it and see what the weather was like, what we planted - and where we planted it! This week we started our journals for the new school year by decorating the front of our garden diaries.
The first thing we recorded was some planting. Even though it's nearly winter, some seeds are hardy enough to deal with the cold. There was space in some of the beds where we dug up the potatoes, so we planted some winter peas. We looked on the seed packet to find out how far apart we should plant the seeds and how deep they should be planted. We dug a shallow drill (a long line or groove in the soil) and used a ruler to measure the distances.
Then we wrote about what we did in our new journals. The hard pea seeds made us think of the story of the princess and the pea!
