Daily students have to go to our allotment where they weed and water the plants.

Watering and cleaning
Soon, everything will be as tidy as our rooms.

Weeding
Our allotment cannot host any redundant plants.

Pumpkins
We admire the pumpkins and their firm stems and sprouting buds.

Beans
Are there any buds yet?

29/06/09
All three plants started blooming. We could not resist admiring red and yellow blossoms.
Finally, our work gave us pleasure in admiring rich crops!

A lot of work to do
Almost every day, students of 8th class got to the allotment
and take care of the plants.

Blooming beans
Lovely red colour strikes your eyes as soon as you enter our allotment

Many flowers
Pumpkins are full of flowers. we expect a rich harvest.

Shy sunflowers
First yellow blossoms are peeking out from behind big green leaves.

Decorative pumpkins
We planted some sorts of decorative pumpkins. they are doing well.

growing and fattening pumpkins
After you peek inside the green bushes,
there are many shy round pumpkins waiting for more rain and sun
to grow and get fat.

More and more zucchinis
Green bushes are hiding a lot of zucchinis.

Zucchinis
What a surprise were zucchinis over 50 cm long!

Some blossoms have already developed into pumpkins. They looked and – TASTED – wonderful. Yes, we prepared a meal – pumpkin fries. Everybody said they were delicious.

In our minds, there are many ideas how to use pumpkins that will be ripe only in September. Our holidays are a perfect opportunity for inventing some 'crazy' recipes.

Tall and full bean stalks
Now flowers, after some time, we will be certainly harvest some beans, too.

Ladybirds bring us good luck. They are always present on our allotment.
