We had a lovely day in the sun, this fantastic weather has made us want to be outside all the time! Today we were busy making a growing area. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to do and after some dithering we settled on an area towards the bottom.
Children love dens and a space to call their own, so a 'room' was required.

| This is the Children's Garden, on the right is the swing and at the far end you can see the jumping mound. |

| Here is The Chicken Child washing his car. He takes great pride in a clean car and spends alot of time making sure it's 'just so'! |
 |
| We began by setting out bamboo canes to create a frame for our runner beans and nasturtiums to grow up. We then wove string between the poles to make zig-zags and spiderwebs. |

| Here CC brings a tray of pots to add to his new growing area. |

We gathered small pots, a large pot of compost, CC's miniture gardening tools and part of a mini poly-tunnel to create a 'greenhouse' within the growing area.
I dug a bed for the runner beans and nasturtiums at the base of the canes. We will sow these in pots on Wednesday when our friends come to play and plant them out once they've had a head start on the slugs!
