Watermelons!

Today at last we harvested our watermelons. It’s been a bit of an unusual summer and not the best one for growing melons, but we still had two to try. One had been growing in a really sunny spot, and one was in the shade. When we cut them open they looked - and tasted – quite different. Can you guess which one grew where? 

One watermelon was sweeter than the other.

We were in two groups today, one group planted more vege seeds into punnets for our next pop up stall at the end of term, and the other continued to clear the grass from around the orchard trees and plant companion plants around them.

We harvested some of our spinach and silverbeet to take home. Ali has never seen kids so eager for their share of spinach! 

We found a garden friend while we were harvesting silverbeet.
