From big seed to small bean plants

Pulling radish
We pulled and pulled and pulled….. it was not a giant turnip, this time it was a giant radish!
Large seeds, small seeds
Sowing more seeds today. We saw that some are really large and we pressed them into the soil, while others are so tiny we had to sprinkle them onto the seed bed. The sweetcorn seed looked all shrivelled up, we…
We Planted Out Some Peas
It seems like ages ago that we pressed pea seeds into the soil of the seed tray. They have grown into small pea plants ready to be put outside. We will watch them climb up the netting over the coming…
