Steve, our wonderful school gardener, asked us to pot up some aubergine seedlings. We had a look at the little seedlings, an older and bigger aubergine plant and some fully grown aubergines. Hopefully our aubergine plants will give us aubergines like these!

The aubergine seeds had been planted in plug trays (trays with lots of little cells, one for each seed). They had grown well - now the plants need more room to grow so we moved them into bigger pots with more soil for the roots to stretch out.
With the seedlings potted up and watered, we had a look around our garden for mini-beasts. Plenty of mini-beasts are a sign of a really healthy garden. We found bees and worms and woodlice as well as spiders, aphids and snails.
Afterwards we wrote in our diaries which mini-beasts we found. Then we made up our own mythical mini-beasts and plants. These are the pictures we drew:
Thanks to Hannah B for taking such beautiful photos this week!
Another rewarding session from the gardening group. Well done to all for your hard work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve! It's a lot of fun.
DeleteA very beautiful post and a very satisfying days work. Lets hope the sun hasn't scorched up all our seedlings.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jojo! And I hope the seedlings haven't been eaten by mini-beasts...
