Winter Strawberries

What a warm winter we have had. Usually this time is a quiet time for gardening however it has been unseasonably warm. So, we started planting some seedlings and we have our fingers crossed that there won't be a frost.

Our strawberries have gone in early because if you plant them in winter, they fruit more. We are doing an experiment on three different types of strawberries (our old ones fertilised, new ones from the shop and runners). Which ones will do the best??

Term 2 Weeks 5-10

Maintaining the gardens is hard work but it's made much easier pushing a wheelbarrow - it's always a race to see who will get to steer it! We finished with a class treat of homemade vege soup. It was absolutely delicious, nutritious and totally made by the hands of the Eco Kids.
