(Beet)roots and shoots

We're getting ready for next weekend's Chelsea Fringe event - the school garden will be open to visitors, we're selling cakes and strawberry plants that we have grown….and we're going to do some garden arts and crafts. 


Jojo's sister Katherine brought in some printing stamps of flowers, leaves and stalks that she had made. 
We used coloured inks to print with them and colour in the pictures. 




Meanwhile our beetroot seeds had sprouted and we needed to 'prick them out' - separate the little seedlings and plant them in the vegetable beds. 


The seedlings were growing quite close together, we had to really carefully separate them and plant them out in the beds, giving them enough room for their roots to grow. 




Then we gently watered them in their new homes.
