Lets start growing!

We've made a start at growing!


















Today at lunchtime club we made some mini propegators using empty milk cartons.  The group have planted Chilli seeds and Basil, as January is a great time to start sowing them.

We have seeded some sweetpeas in recycled cardboard tubes.  We used the carboard tubes because sweetpeas like to have room for their roots to grow, they also don't like having their roots disturbed so when the seedlings are big enough they can be planted straight into the ground.

The students have taken their seedling back to their tutor rooms to look after them. Hopefully they will remember to water them.

Lets see how long they take to germinate.
