The first thing we did this week was check on our tomato seedlings which are slowly getting bigger...
Hopefully they will be big enough to transplant into our raised bed by the end of term!
We also checked on our surviving strawberry plants too and were happy to see that one has a flower!
Next, we checked on our pea seedlings which have got
little pairs of leaves now
and are getting bigger everyday!
Then we had a look at our sunflower seed containers and we were happy to discover some of them have sprouted too! Here is one that has just broken through the soil.
After that we scattered some basil seeds on top of damp seedling mix in some more recycled newspaper containers.
Then we put a little bit more seed mix on top.
We couldn't believe how small the basil seeds were!
Finally we went outside and had a look to see if we could spot any potatoes inside our special potato growing pot... and we spotted two! We wondered how many more there are hiding in the soil, and how many are growing in our other black bags of potatoes....
We also had a look at our carrot seedlings in our raised bed.
Some of them are growing bigger too.
We would love to eat some of them before Christmas but it looks like we may have to wait and try them in the New Year!
