It was started with the help of the children and parents from St. Paul's CE Primary in Cambridge. We want to encourage learning outside the classroom, learning how to grow fruit, vegetables and herbs and learning to love of the environment.Judy Foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03854346532859319420noreply@blogger.comBlogger81100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166325808448525792.post-33444611084473111102010-03-25T14:26:00.000-07:002010-03-25T14:35:14.453-07:00It's week 3 of the new planting year!<br />Today some people planted special competition potatoes in plastic bags. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/S6vWqRKwM9I/AAAAAAAAACU/BN1zYDHi1ds/s1600/P3190478.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 112px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452687795513471954" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/S6vWqRKwM9I/AAAAAAAAACU/BN1zYDHi1ds/s200/P3190478.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/S6vWq8KL0VI/AAAAAAAAACc/msc25EPgaWg/s1600/P3190485.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 112px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452687807053812050" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/S6vWq8KL0VI/AAAAAAAAACc/msc25EPgaWg/s200/P3190485.JPG" /></a>Others took plants to the greenhouses.<br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/S6vWrICJ8kI/AAAAAAAAACk/D9FWwfm1xM0/s1600/P3190480.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 112px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452687810241360450" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/S6vWrICJ8kI/AAAAAAAAACk/D9FWwfm1xM0/s200/P3190480.JPG" /></a>Lots of people just enjoyed digging!!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/166325808448525792-3344461108447311110?l=schoolsgardencubg.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13778054192704275078noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166325808448525792.post-21998762032066339822010-03-25T08:49:00.000-07:002010-03-25T14:24:46.066-07:00<div> In week 2 we planted potatoes.

Most club members returned, and there were a few new families, who were warmly welcomed. Children and adults busily planted potatoes, sorted out the small pond, set up a wormery, potted on small plants and wrote in journals. We really liked the new fencing around the garden.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/SfWrBOZBaCI/AAAAAAAAAAs/o_ZHYNPkjUQ/s1600-h/frank+008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329353771594115106" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/SfWrBOZBaCI/AAAAAAAAAAs/o_ZHYNPkjUQ/s320/frank+008.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/SfWoApsv3zI/AAAAAAAAAAM/uzQEo5BBtRI/s1600-h/frank+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329350463209856818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/SfWoApsv3zI/AAAAAAAAAAM/uzQEo5BBtRI/s320/frank+003.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329350472204747282" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/SfWoBLNTAhI/AAAAAAAAAAU/2qVB90yrak0/s320/frank+006.JPG" border="0" /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/SfWqr-8P5tI/AAAAAAAAAAk/hXmANSu7FGo/s1600-h/frank+007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329353406669645522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jJrRogo4MZw/SfWqr-8P5tI/AAAAAAAAAAk/hXmANSu7FGo/s320/frank+007.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><blockquote></blockquote><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/166325808448525792-4320099899490225068?l=schoolsgardencubg.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13778054192704275078noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166325808448525792.post-66694782680945835252007-08-22T01:56:00.001-07:002007-08-22T02:04:04.358-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_v0myGpB_fxc/Rsv7vaC0MzI/AAAAAAAAAA8/UAAF4Ue5Oyw/s1600-h/CIMG0512.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101447794790773554" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_v0myGpB_fxc/Rsv7vaC0MzI/AAAAAAAAAA8/UAAF4Ue5Oyw/s320/CIMG0512.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_v0myGpB_fxc/Rsv6-aC0MyI/AAAAAAAAAA0/ZEOBZPD-loU/s1600-h/CIMG0500.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5101446952977183522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_v0myGpB_fxc/Rsv6-aC0MyI/AAAAAAAAAA0/ZEOBZPD-loU/s320/CIMG0500.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>Martha is showing the beans and courgettes we picked on Friday 17th August.
