Enviro Kids Week 9 Term 3 2013

Kia Ora Whanau!

Welcome to week 9 and our final week of the term.

This week the Enviro Kids have planted some seed potatoes that will be ready to harvest before the Christmas holidays.

 
We made sure that they had all sprouted.
 
 
We dug two trenches to put the potatoes in.
 
 
Then we carefully placed the seed potatoes into the trench and covered them lightly with soil.
 
 
Now we will watch for green shoots popping up and cover them with more soil.
 
Watch this space!
 
And have a lovely break over the holidays! Happy gardening!

  1. Wow Sylvia Park Gardening Group, great to see young people growing vegetables, very environmentally friendly! What will you do with the potatoes once they grow? From Talea Dobbs.

  2. We will be considering our options. We will use the internet to research recipes that use potatoes and decide which one we would like to try.
