The children would be using some or all of the herbs and veggies for use in other classes and the following were chosen for these purposes form the varieties suitable for growing in Sydney in winter:
Chives
Garlic Chives
Rhubarb
Sage variegated
Garlic
Oregano
Thyme
Lettuce - mixed varieties
Kale ‘Tuscan’
Continental Parsley
Silverbeet ‘Rainbow’
Carrots
Rocket
The children helped dig in some of the plants where possible and I had a very keen watering helper. Hopefully with hands on interaction with the garden the children will develop a sense of contribution and ownership of the garden.
We followed planting and watering with an application of Seasol and liquid fertiliser to get the new plants off to a good start.
Our next project will be another bed behind the first one with peas or beans.
