Skirmish Over Brussel Sprouts

News Flash: Myth Busted, Kids EAT Brussel Sprouts!

 
A lunch time Garden Session does not go buy without our Garden Warriors asking "what can we take home today"?
A couple of weeks ago there was a veritable stampede for the garden gate as the bell went... to pluck a handful of brussel sprouts to proudly take home!

 Winter has not kept our Garden Warriors out of their Garden, interest and enthusiasm continues, even for general tidying up!
 Out came our fabulous broccicauli, and in went the lupin seeds, to be covered by pea straw.
Unfortunately Whetu Te Weka has found access to our garden again and had a wonderful time skritching and scratching...and gobbling up ALL our lupin seeds!
 
Not a single lupin survived so our Garden Facilitator has had to secretly sow some more and cover them well with soil...so hopefully we shall see some starting to sprout soon!
 Here are our Brussel Sprouts that started a riot!
Out went the last of the cocktail tomato's too, a few got tasted and a few got squirted!
 All hands were on deck.
 Winter has not stopped a few self sown seeds from popping up around our garden.
Here is happy calendula getting ready for a hot summer display!
 Viola's and coriander have also been spotted sprouting up in unusual places...
 ...some calendula and viola seedlings were careful transplanted into Sophie's garden to surprise her next week...she will be delighted!
Another VERY successful Garden Session with our Warrior's, Mr Lego Policeman.
Now just keep an eye out for Whetu Te Weka for us!
