young gardeners

[Sandra]

Well we managed to get outside today and do some gardening for the first time. The children made some mini gardens, including grass, flowers, sun flowers and a little stone path. So all being well, they will grow, and the children can learn to look after them and water them in the meantime.

The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and it was a shame we had to go back indoors. I think this little project has made us even more determined to raise some funding for the garden than ever.

You're right Sandra it was fantastic being outside, even though I had to pick up all the slugs, snails, worms ect.

[Sandra]

Thats because slimey creatures seem to be atracted to you.......remember that odd man at the YMCA.

[Jen]

:eek:.......

[Steve]

Im sorry if I look odd to you.I can't help it.

[Jen]

Never mind Steve we still love you :D...the garden project is getting closer

[Jen]

Sandra and I were so excited when we went into group on Tuesday, our seeds have actually sprouted.( I think we were more excited than the children) Well I was!

[Sandra]

I was actually quite embarassed by your over excitement

[Jen]

I just couldn't control myself :D

[Sandra]

my boys said to me before they went to bed...we can't wait to see how much the plants have grown.

[mamma mia]

so have you guys started work on the outdoor garden, are you going to post pictures of before and after. I think I remember seeing a before picture on another thread.

[Jen]

We are sadly still waiting on the funding so we can erect a fence, can’t really do much until that is in place, but let us assure you we are working hard on getting that funding. We will get our garden :chores_ga

[Sandra]

Jen is going to mow the grass short, then Jen is going to rake all the grass to make sure it's clean, then Jen is going to sweep all the paving, then Jen is going to clean between the slabs. Then I will go out and check it has been done properly. :(

Chinese proverb says: she who mocks other peoples injuries has to do work all by herslelf. :neener2:

[Jen]

Oh I do hope you are feeling better soon, it's not nice seeing you in such pain. :soothe:

[Sandra]

here are the finished gardens....we were so pleased that they grew so well.
