Green Fingers

W,e have been very busy outside these last few weeks. After reading the story Grandpa's Garden we decided to plant our own vegetable patch. There were lots of jobs to do. First we decided to make our own compost bin, we collected up lots of dead leaves and put them in and have been saving the leftover fruit from our snack to put in too. Then we needed to prepare our beds for planting, it was a tough job digging and preparing the ground but we all helped and got stuck in. We found lots of worms and other minibeasts while we were doing this! Then we put down some new compost for our vegetables to grow in and raked it flat so it was ready to plant in. Finally it was time to plant our seeds, some of us noticed how the seeds looked different depending on which vegetable they would grown into. We made some signs so we could remember what we planted and watered the soil. We can't wait to see if they grow!
