We have started on our vegie garden that we are making this term. This week we made some of those little tags you have so that you can remember what's been planted. I really should be putting this into practice for my own seedlings. I keep planting them and then within a couple of days have completely forgotton what it was that I planted where.
The kids won't have that problem though. They used all sorts of found objects as moulds for the tags and filled them with plaster of paris. As the plaster began to set, we placed leaves or flowers into the plaster which results in a relief pattern being made. This coming week we will sand off all of the rough edges and attach our stakes while we prepare our containers (kindly donated by our local
IGA supermarket at Marmion) ready for planting. I will be sending an email off this week to see if we can get Bunnings to help out with a donation of potting mix. Wish us luck!
