My weather chart and potatoes

Last week it was time to chit our potatoes from the Potatoes for Schools. We grew them last year and had lots of yummy potatoes. You can see how many I managed to grow with last year’s potato harvest.

I saved two egg boxes for chitting and now they are in the windowsill for two weeks, growing strong sprouts.

Over 1 million children grow their own potatoes thanks to this scheme! We had three Vales Emerald and three Rocket potatoes to grow. I also had a weather chart to map out the weather. So far we’ve had 6 sunny days and 1 cloudy.

I’ve been clearing my patch in the garden ready for planting out in two weeks time and I’ve got some wildflower seeds for the bees and butterflies.

7. I’ve never played a proper computer game.

It is going to be my birthday on 4th march. Mummy and Daddy have bought my present early!

Can you guess what it is?

a- a cat
b- a rabbit
c- a dog

I’ve called her Sunrise and she is very cute. She is a honey colour with a few black markings. She has large ears and a waffly nose.

We bought her today and she is now comfortably in her hutch with a bowl of food, her water bottle, some hay and some straw. She looks very happy and we’re keeping her in the dining room until she gets big enough to be outdoors.

Here she is! Did you guess the right animal?

Sunrise my rabbit!
