Salt and update
The 4 sweetcorn are doing well, considering the amount of munching they had. All are growing on nicely and being coddled far too much for a plant. 
We now have 4 of one pumpkin variety and 1 of another, 2 courgettes and 6 celery plants up. Still waiting on the peppers, which are taking their time. 
Today we’ve tackled bad behaviour, made bread (discussion on how yeast works), been to the PO - tackled more unwelcome and innappropriate behaviour, and we’ve just tried making a salt solution so we can grow some salt crystals - as Beavers attempt failed. 
I’m sure we can do better…. Some housework was done too, and Dino has done some reading and identified ant species. He’s doing a sort of survey of invertebrates in the garden - each one has to be identified, he has to find out where it lives and what it eats and then work out if that means it’s good for our garden or a pest. He wants a third option now as a simple good or bad doesn’t really cover some of them. He’s really thinking and exploring things now and it’s lovely to watch.
Mimi has whined, wailed and been a pain. But now she’s playing with her Dora beanie thing and chatting away to it in an odd mix of mostly English, a lot of MimiSpeak and a smattering of Spanish words thrown in.
