Our vegetable garden

This term, the girls in the environmental club have recultivated our vegetable garden after two years. They carefully researched the vegetables that would grow best at this time of the year and planned how to divide the garden, including plants to use, as natural pest deterrents. Then came a week of intense clearing out in preparation of planting. It was an exciting day when they finally got to plant the seeds. The girls were thrilled to be able to pick some of the vegetables. It has been very rewarding watching our seeds grow and finally produce vegetables. The girls and I are grateful to Masibonisane Javu for helping us water, weed and maintain our garden.
