Outdoor fun with the Seedlings crew!

We celebrated the start of May with several outdoor skills. Our good friends Matthew and Louise came along supplied with bread to toast on sticks around the fire! We also made Nettle & Potatoe soup - yummy! My lovely other half Dex gave me a Ghillie kettle for Christmas and so we made several cups of camomile tea out in the woods!

Glorious Greenhouse (Apply Self Regulation & Feedback)

Little hands have been helping me in the greenhouse. My littlies have been getting their outdoor education planting seeds in compost and watering them daily...Roots and shoots are appearing and we have a indulgence of pumpkin plants as well as a variety of herbs for making remedies. It is important to regularly take a step back and assess how things are growing. Patience is a virtue when it comes to waiting for seeds to grow. Sometimes they seem to take forever to germinate - but don't lose heart! Those tiny exciting shoots appear and before you know it, the seedlings are growing beautifully and the next step is to harden them off on a table outdoors.
