As the weather starts to cool, so is the production of eggs. However, our girls are enjoying being let out to scratch in the newly landscaped vegetable patch. Over the break, they will be taken care of by our school community who will feed them kitchen scraps from their home cooking.

Kitchen and Garden News

We have been busy in the garden, working hard to complete the long awaited garden beds. A huge pile of soil and mulch was wheelbarrowed and bucketed into the raised beds. Thanks goes out to the HOL team for their muscles when needed. The HOL boys were amazing when working with our young gardeners.

The team got creative and put up climbing frames to increase our growing capacity. These beds are now thriving with plenty of Autumn veggies. The rest of the existing beds are doing great, there are still zucchini, capsicum, silverbeet and cherry tomatoes waiting for harvesting.

In the kitchen, we explored the different parts of a plant we can eat and identified these in our cooking. The students had fun sharing facts with each other as we discovered why the veggies we cook with are actually fruit! Before the term wrapped up, we cooked veggie rolls, scrolls and pizza. With the abundant zucchini, we made a delicious ribbon salad.
