As I drove up to school to set up for our first after school "Garden Club" enrichment , in true British style, the heavens opened. Undeterred, my fabulous helpers & I gathered in the multipurpose room to 'pot on' our seedlings - some of which were outgrowing their seed starter trays. We made a thorough mess (!), talked about the word 'transplanting' and saw how many of the seedlings roots were already pushing through the biodegradable seed pots. We cut up the seed starting pots and planted them directly into larger pots to create sturdier plants. We will then plant these out in the garden itself over the next week or so. Most importantly we had a lot of fun!
