Children from First Class and Senior Infants had great fun harvesting onions from the garden on Wednesday.

After sorting the onions to share with all the garden helpers, it was time to do some weeding. We noticed delicious beetroot, kale, chard, broccoli and cauliflower growing. These were planted ages ago. Sometime you have to be patient with gardening.

The fresh onions can be hung up in a dry space at home to allow brown skin to develop – this way the onions can be stored for a long time. Many children said they ere going to eat them for their dinner that night!

Lots of children expressed an interest in being on the garden group next year. Hurray! We would love some more parent helpers too!
