Our Week in the Garden

 It never takes our Garden Warriors long to notice if the Garden Flag is out at lunch time.
School is back and we only have 2 weeks to get the garden in top shape for the BIG Market this Labour weekend...
 Micro greens were sown in egg shells,
Faces next week when we see what sort of hair has sprouted!
Hopefully we can sell these egg heads at our Market!
 Room 6 explored the garden taking note of how we had "up cycled or re-purposed
 things. Our Head Garden Gnome did a deal with Room 6 ...they come up with a design to keep the birds off these strawberries and they could have sole eating rights! There was also mention of an ice cream making session in the last week of term...
 As it so happens Room 12 was also out making the most of the sunshine (it has been in VERY short supply this October!)...and managed to barter a similar strawberry deal with our Head Garden Gnome!
 

 Room 12 were also keen on a tasting session...this is what Rocket tastes like...first you take an exploratory nibble...
 ...you think that's not too bad, then your tongue starts to tingle...
 ...rocket fuel warms you up on a cold spring day!
Brave Rocket nibbling Room 12, filed out of the garden having nibbled on parsley, chives, coriander & silver beet, finished off with a sprig of cool mint!
Small hands clutched small bunches of oregano to take home for pizza!
Button eyes gave sight to our bird seed hedgehog...

 No leaf was left unturned or...un-nibbled!
 Carrots were rinsed and devoured...
 ...and our garden was thoroughly explored and sampled by all!
AND...there is always an opportunity to get involved in something!
