We have been busy in Te Waka Ako getting our winter garden sorted. During the Lockdown and because of the drought, the garden had become dead and empty. So we began by bringing the compost up from our tumble bins (we also stunk out Te Waka Ako for two days as it was a little stinky). Then we added more bags of potting mix to top the garden bed up. Next we planted winter veggie seedlings. We planted kale, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, broccoflower, celery, beans, lettuce, brussel sprouts, chives and parsley. It's looking good!
Before Lockdown we had our green house finished with the wonderful volunteers at our school working bee. Our greenhouse was covered and the clearlite roof was put on. Dave, our fabulous caretaker, has been busy putting in shelves and building a door. Now we can use it to store and raise our seedlings. We have some more winter veggies planted and some Kowhai seedlings that we have grown from the seeds we gathered from Waikowhai Bay.
I Like this one because it looks like the same as ours at are school ❤

ReplyDeleteSalve Te Waka Ako,
ReplyDeleteYour winter vege garden looks amazing. We also have vege gardens and lots of fruit trees. We have been picking the fruit and selling it for an Enviroschools fundraiser. The veges are sometimes given to people who need them at home and sometimes we use them to have healthy lunches in our classrooms. What will you do with your veges?
