This week, the children had a great time at the allotment harvesting the last of their produce. We were excited to see that our sweetcorn were eventually ready. We took it in turns to pick them, twisting and pulling them off the plant. We then discarded the rest of the plant into the compost bin. We checked on our pumpkins and they were looking very good. There was one big orange pumpkin but the others were green. As their vine had snapped, we made the decision to take them back to nursery and see if they would change colour there.

There were lots more apples to harvest so we gave our tree a big shake and quickly filled our buckets. Before we took them back to nursery we needed to engage in the ‘taste test’. We cleaned the apples before taking a bite. They were some of the best tasting apples we had ever had! The thumbs up are to show just how amazing they were.
