This week gardening club returned to the school allotments to see what had happened to the crops that we had planted last term. Despite a wet but fun walk up to the gardens, we were surprised to see how much had changed. The fruit trees on the outside of the community gardens were laden with apples and pears.
The sunflowers we had planted were very tall, much taller than us and a few of our sunflower heads were even displayed at the Framlingham Horticultural Show last Saturday. We also looked at the pumpkins and marrows which were growing too.
We tried a few raspberries which were very sweet.
We planted up some hyacinth bulbs for next spring. We had to make sure they were planted the right way up and left the head of the bulb out of the soil ready for them to shoot.
We watered the hyacinth bulbs once we had planted them in the compost. We can't wait to see them to see the colours and to smell the lovely scent of the hyacinths.
