3RD
MAY
• Joshua the Germinator carefully put the orange seedlings
into small pots.
• Connor, Alban, Salwa, Ala’a, Sarah M, Lea, Ali
O, Andy, Ashley, Solomon, Christine, Iryna & Daska made
their first visit to Brompton Cemetery with Nick Lane.
First, Andy took a group photo beside the forget-me-nots and
lots of other photos later on. Nick talked to us about the lime
tree avenue, Emmeline Pankhurst & squirrels. We saw a squirrel
drey (nest). Then we visited our site.
He explained the orientation (N, S, E & W). Next we saw
the gateway to the catacombs. He gave us flower boxes to tick
and magnifying glasses. We saw: bramble bushes, bluebells, lesser
celandines, garlic mustard, a rowan tree and a conker tree.
It was hot (22 degrees) and sunny and there were ladybirds and
lots of hover flies. We meant to take the soil temperature but
we forgot.

centipedes and a caterpillar in his beak. |

• Sara, Mohamad & their dad planted sunflower seeds
in the top 2 terraces. The robin visited them.
• Christine & Iryna planted ecobooty (lesser celandines,
bluebells, wild arum lilies & violets) in the middle terrace.
• The begonia leaf had gone mouldy and we had to throw it
away. We had another try with 2 fresh leaves.

MAY
Wild strawberries, stonecrop, campanulas & love-in-the-mist,
all presents from Iryna, were planted in the terrace. No sign
of sunflower seedlings - perhaps we planted them too deep? |
