What’s growing in the garden

Some of the edible plants and herbs the students have been planting and harvesting are:

• Sweet potatoes
• Dutch cream potatoes
• Kale 
• Broccoli
• Lettuce Parsley
• Mustards greens
• Silver beet

Planting our broad beans

The students are also enjoying our annual broad bean planting activity. This involves all the students planting a broad bean seed, and recording it’s growth rate over a period of 5 months. 

Eventually they will harvest them and create a beautiful spring menu celebrating the broad bean.

The students have been celebrating a very successful crop of sweet potatoes and the last of our late summer harvest of tomatoes with this recent menu.

Menu 

• Sweet potato and pumpkin burgers
• Kale cabbage and carrot slaw
