Green learning

Well, gardening really but I’m sure they learn stuff while we do that. Today we put in a row of mange tout peas, a very short row of a few lettuces, some beetroot and some regular peas - all sown directly into the ground and you never know, they might come up…. I popped a few tiny little foxgloves in by the rose and a teasel in there too. Yes, I know, they’re prickly and a pain but I just love them and they are fab for wildlife. Did a bit more digging and am planning on putting more peas and carrots in but in about a week so there’s a succession of crops - unlike the garlic - we now have 25 in the shed and about the same still in the ground but I want those that are left to swell a bit more before I pull them.

Both kids have done a bit of reading, Dino is working on some punctuation rules and general maths too - reluctantly as always but it’s being done. 

Kids were wandering about with the camera and there are a few pics I might put up later but most are of a foot, table leg, space where someone was a second ago etc. I think they need more practice and as it’s a digital on rechargeable batteries there’s no real waste.
