Planting time!

The week before the Easter holidays we planted parsnips and onions in our area of the garden. John was out there and very kindly helped us to make a hole and plant our seeds. We brought out our rulers and measured the distance between each seed to make sure they have enough room to grow. Once the bed was full we used a rake to cover over the holes with soil. In the next few weeks we will hopefully see some new growth.

We have taken part in a project with a school in India. They sent each class different seeds to plant. Our class have Sponge Gourde seeds. We planted these in a window box to keep in our classroom. Our Irish weather is a bit too cold for these so we are keeping them nice and warm inside. Every day somebody waters them. During the two weeks of the Easter holidays they grew a lot and we can see some of the plant growing up through the soil. It will be very interesting to see how they turn out.
