Rosendale Nature Garden

We learned about worms this morning and all the wonderful things they provide for the soil. We then went worm spotting and managed to find a couple of great specimens and were able to make out their saddles.

This week we planted broad bean seeds using an ingenious self watering pot. Hopefully they will have started to germinate before the half term break and we can look forward to making broad bean pesto in the summer.

We gathered some small leaves and sticks, ground them down, and fed them into our soil making machine which should hopefully yield results in a month or two. We discussed how seeds are sleeping and need to be woken up with a soil blanket and water. Looking forward to seeing these Sweet Pea seeds flourish in glorious colour in the spring and summer.
