It has been a VERY wet few weeks here on the coast but today the sun made up for her absence and really turned it on for our Garden Warriors...
Always looking for something tasty to take home and share with their whanau our Garden Warriors made light work of harvesting rhubarb and parsley...
Leafy tops were trimmed off for the compost with rhubarb stems clasped in eager hands destined for home with much talk of rhubarb and apple crumble and stewed rhubarb on weet-bix...
Just as much parsley was being consumed in the garden today as was heading home protruding from school bags ...destined to enhance scrambled eggs, mashed potato and pesto...
After being completely stripped bare of every single leaf in last years HGUE Easter storm, our Tamarillo tree came back with a vengeance this season with a very heavy crop that has proved most popular with our Garden Warriors...
This modest Tamarillo has feed 3 different lunch time garden sessions but is now completely bare of all vibrant magenta fruit! The last of the treasured fruit exiting the garden today to be taken home and proudly displayed and eaten with whanau.
Two matching new entrants enchanted by our worm farms!
It was time to refresh our worm farms and set up some new trays for the worms to migrate into...
...as it was literally worm spaghetti in one of our trays...
...great work everyone on collecting worm food in your classes. Our worms are thriving!
It was nice to be reacquainted with you today sunshine...there were certainly Garden Warriors out in force at lunch time enjoying our garden space!
See you again next week!
