It was great to
come back to school and see how well our vegetables have been growing during
the holidays – our broad beans have formed already, our kale and spring onions
are growing well and we had cauliflowers, silverbeet and lots of snow peas to harvest.

Our new garden is developing well too – our hot house, chicken house and poly
tunnel are currently being erected and our fruit trees have lots of blossom.

We are
attracting quite a lot of publicity at the moment – an article about our
program has been published on the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation
web-site – take a look by going to http://www.kitchengardenfoundation.org.au/ and clicking on ‘Southern Support School’s
Kitchen Garden Program Flourishes’ – there will also be a feature about us in
their Spring Newsletter which is due out shortly. And yesterday a reporter from
‘Eat Well Tasmania’ spent the morning working with Blue and White Classes
during their kitchen and garden sessions – they will be writing about us in
their newsletter and also plan to include a report about us (including videos)
on their web-site.
We sold out of
recipe books again this week, but more will be available early next week – they
cost $10 and can be obtained from the front office or by sending a note in to
us.
Next week we
are cooking:
Wholemeal
rolls
Carrot
and Cumin Dip
Cheesy
Mashed Potato Bake
Pasta
with a Spring Vegetable Sauce
Silver
beet and feta rolls
Salad
