*** An update from Mr McLean of Grade 5mc ***

Mr Mclean says "All is proceeding as planned with the veggie garden with the last of the garden beds being prepared this week.

Thanks to a wonderful donation of a trailer load of horse manure by Sue from Yarra Valley Toyota we have been able to follow the ‘no dig garden’ style of bed construction.

The beds now contain newspapers and cardboard as the first layer, then straw, then loose fill, then more straw, followed by manure and finally better quality garden soil, Now time for planting of seedlings "

*** DONATIONS from KPS FAMILIES ***

If all families could dig deep & would like to donate a punnet of vegetable seedlings to the garden we would greatly appreciate it.

We are going to plant:

Parsley
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Carrots
Pumpkin
Zucchini
Beetroot
Silverbeet
Chives
Rosemary
Lettuce
Spring onions
Sun flowers
