Garden Challenge 2021

We are three generations of gardeners starting a gardening challenge to see the difference in the ways we garden and grow!

We will all have the same seeds and grow them in our own ways. We will give regular updates and are looking forward to sharing the results. Follow the Garden Challenge with our hashtag GardenChallenge2021!

Harvesting Our Crops

Today Ivor, Martha and Tracie went on a vegetable hunt to see what they could make for tea. Ivor and Martha both found some onions to pull out and then Ivor found some of the rainbow carrots were ready to munch on.

They didn’t quite make the kitchen because we washed them with the outdoor tap and ate them all up! Martha said they were very crunchy and juicy. Ivor had too much in his mouth to answer.

What a Pavlova!

We have been waiting and waiting for our raspberries to grow since the beginning of summer. Poppy has been waiting to make raspberry coulis and Faith wanted to make raspberry pavlova. This week, while we were tidying the garden ready for autumn, we cut back the blueberry bush and to our delight, found GIANT RASPBERRIES!

Our Raspberry

Silly Tracie, they’re not summer fruiting raspberries, they’re autumn raspberries!
