This week our Gardening Club session was full of autumn treasures as our young gardeners gathered some of the wonderful crops they have helped to grow!
We dug up a bumper crop of sweet potatoes! Some will soon be turned into delicious sweet potato wedges for the children to enjoy.
We also harvested our spaghetti squash - and they are HUGE! These will be roasted, giving the children the chance to discover the spaghetti-like strands inside and find out how this unusual squash got its name!
Our colourful Turk’s Turban squashes were ready to harvest too, each with its own wonderful mix of colours and distinctive shape.
Finally, we harvested our luffas, which are now drying out. Another fascinating crop, with a very different use waiting to be discovered!
With the evenings drawing in, we just managed to finish harvesting and snap a few photos before the last of the autumn light faded! A lovely way to celebrate months of growing and care, with plenty of tasting and exploring still to come.
