Today's lunch was Sausage Rolls and Ice-cream with Lollies

We were lucky to have Celeste's brother Kyle in to help with the cooking.

 Paddy and the chopped up veggies. 

The only thing I found was that the sausage roll made a lot of liquid (fat and juices) so the bottom of the sausage rolls was a bit soggy. Next time I would cook them on the grill wrack so the liquid will drip to the tray.

I really enjoyed cooking with the kids today. I think everyone enjoyed eating the lunch, I know Doug and I did.

First crops planted

We planted our first crops on the 18/9/2014, the week before the holidays, a little early for some spring planting, but most plants are thriving

 

In the Junior School Garden (Prep & 1) we planted Savoy cabbages, mini cabbages and 3 varieties of tomatoes, Cherry, Roma and Gross Lisse

In the Middle School Garden (Year 2) we planted Carrots and Dragons tongue beans. The beans haven't been coping to well with the weather, however I hope some will survive. The carrots transplanted really well.

The Senior School Garden was planted with beetroot. One was a heritage variety but I think they all got mixed up. They are growing well and might need some further dividing once they are a little more established.
