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!

Homemade Potted Herb Fence

The children loved helping Tracie make this herb fence. First we used the electric screwdriver to put screws in place to hold the pots to our fence. They have moulded holes on the back to make them easy to attach (from IKEA).

We then went over to the cold frame to pick the herbs we wanted to display. We chose Curry Plant, Rosemary, Lavender, Coriander, Chives and Mint. The whole fence was so pretty and fragrant the children spent the day going over and smelling them. We even had a bee visit us.
