Under 5's gardening inc a pic of Harriet
« on: July 30, 2014, 16:33:42 »
Hi All,

As you know i have a daughter who is now shockingly 4 !! Not sure where 4 years have gone.

But her nursery have a little veg garden and I like other people help with providing plants and seeds for the kids to grow flowers and food.

The area she is in has launched a new Bury in Bloom initiative which hopes to encourage the underfives to be hands on in a gardening or growing activity. This was lauched at my daughters nursery and they took some photos (shes the little girl in the navy top sitting down). I am so proud!!   :glasses9:

When i visited a few weeks ago (dont always get a chance usualy hubbie gets her) i visited the garden and they were loaded with pepers, tomatoes, courgettes and all sorts!

Though i would share

I can't believe how big she is, the years have flown by, Callum is 16 this year !!!!
I'm so glad the school has started them off, they'll soon be looking for allotments of their own. You're one lucky lady xx

Lovely!  My two hate gardening...

Does anyone know what these flowers are? http://www.buryinbloom.org.uk/busygreenfingerspics/tasselroad4.1.png the kiddies have them growing. I too have them and they are beautiful, they self seeded.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
