Nau mai haere mai ki te Milky Way space!
I hope you can share your learning and experiences on this space. With our schools lack of gardens at this stage and your keen interest in growing edible plants my challenge for you is to begin your own green fingered adventure at home! If you don't have a vegie garden at home you might need to do some negotiating with Mum and Dad and be creative about how you plan your garden.

The Awhi reading group has just read about starting a garden in a wheel barrow. = = =What could you use so that your garden is either mobile or not in the way of your backyard landscape?=

Our first vegie garden was just a piece of dirt because I wasn't sure I could grow anything! Now Craig and I have made two raised beds which will be full of edible bounty in summer. I had to carefully landscape the area and it took a lot of money and planing and hard work to make the beds. One bed has the soil well prepared with compost, the other is being filled with cow poo from my Mum's farm, clippings from the garden and the occasional lot of kitchen scraps, but Francky likes to get them out, so it is taking a while to prepare the soil in that bed.
