Garnish with Mint and Boost with crushed Coffee Grounds and Eggshells!

During a "Let's Cook and Create" session, students learnt what a garnish means, as they crushed the mint and then discussed other foods which have a minty flavour while the Environment Team were busy planting Snow Peas in the Wicking Bed and then giving the seeds a boost, with a sprinkling of crushed coffee grounds and eggshells!

 

Lemon Balm, Peas, Tadpoles and Term 2 Environment Team!

 Time to harvest the Lemon Balm and prepare the Bed for planting! Those peas look fresh! Let's check out the tadpoles!

Congratulations to the Term 2 Enviro Team!

Zillions of Tadpoles!

                                        

Term 2 commenced with a “tidy-up” in Bluey’s Patch and a visit from Mrs Rebecca Lewis - a special guest speaker from Lalor Park Community Garden, who brought a zillion Tadpoles for the Pond, along with some herb cuttings which can be propagated, in the wicking beds. Akon, thanked Mrs Lewis for the interesting information and the prospective frogs!

New Life and Bunnies at Easter!

 

While the students "hop off" to enjoy an Easter break, the plants in Bluey's Patch will quietly produce some Autumn colour after the very heavy rain and look forward to the return of the noise, activity and buzz, as Term 2 gets under way!

"I Can See Clearly Now ...

... Strawberries, Peas being planted and staked and is that a Blue-tongued Lizard in Bluey's Patch?"

"Rain, Rain Go Away ..."

Rain rain please go away, so that the birds' feathers can dry out and they can fly in again, to drink from the clean Birdbath! BTW ... the students measured over 200mls, in two days!

 

Did someone say: "Watermelon Pizza!"

• The Stage 3 students were thrilled to don their Stephanie Alexander aprons, as they participated in the first "Let'sCook and Create" session, for 2022! While some COVID-19 restrictions still applied, that didn't deter their enthusiasm or enjoyment, as they happily sampled the fresh, juicy, recipe!
