Thyme

To get a better idea of what herbs and vegetables we could plant in the allotment, we went to the vegetable  section  at Tesco. We now have a  good  idea of what's available. We want to try and develop the herb part of the allotment a little more, amongst other things. 

supermarket

My group went to the  supermarket today with Sue and Chantal  to  look at  vegetables. We  looked   at   broccoli,  tomatoes and  pumpkins.

flge day

Today we had a flag raising event for the Can Do Project, who have been working with Bede over the last few months to create four seasonal themed flags ( Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter), which will hang outside in Southwark Park. They look fantastic.

  

Christmas

Christmas was good, but it finished too quickly, because I really enjoyed it and was sorry to see it end. The whole family came over. It was a nice relaxed, enjoyable time. I really like to party. 

allotment group 5

I went to the allotment group today to see if any of  my food was ready to be picked. I first  checked on my lettuces to see if  they were ready. I then checked the broad beans. I helped empty the compost bin before going with the group to have lunch.

Christmas wreaths

I put baubles on my Christmas wreaths this week: balls, hearts and little Christmas trees. They are now finished.  

wreath making

I started a project to make a wreath for the Bede Christmas fair. I used the wire to make a circle and tied a knot in place.

We used small bits of paper to put around the wire to make the wreath.

I wrapped real leaves from a fir tree around the frame, then I pulled it tight. My friend Joseph helped me finish it off.
