A busy Friday with the Warriors

 Our Garden Warriors made the front page of "The Westport News" last week, putting in a plug for Westport North School's Monster Market in November. The Warriors are going to have a wonderful stand of assorted vegetable and flower seedlings on sale.

The North School Media Team also paid a visit to our Garden on Friday, putting together a report on the Warrior's efforts for their radio broadcast on Wednesday...be sure to tune in!

 It was business as usual this lunch time session, with Lego Policeman benefiting from Room 10's scrummy scraps!
Room 10 also made a special visit to the garden this afternoon, lets see if they can write us a blog tomorrow, sharing their experience?
 I want one of these flip top heads...soo much easier! & quicker
 A bunch of warriors got down and planted a spiral of spinach seedlings that they had raised from seeds...this garden is growing fantastically.
 
These Warriors discovered a wonderful amount of young worms  were moving in, and making the most of the addition of the mushroom compost. It is amazing to see this wonderful worm population having developed within a couple of months! The Force is strong with Mushroom Compost it seems Darth!
Another very enthusiastic bunch of Garden Warriors planted up a huge array of seeds ready for selling at the monster market.
Special pumpkin seeds were sown that contain the wonderful green pumpkin seeds for sprinkling on salads. Sunflowers with edible seeds were also sown as were a few gourds for a bit of artistic fun later in the term. A tray of lettuce seeds was planted, and coriander and basil too!
 
Now we just need the weather to settle down, October is whitebait mania in Westport, and usually means blustery winds, thunder storms, hail, fresh snow on the Mountains...basically all 4 season's in one day!
