Keeping the gardens buzzing
Hi there from the Incredible Edibles (Monday team). We are located on the rooftop garden next to the 2nd floor of the Heritage Cafe. In the gardens, we grow Lettuce, Tomatoes, Dill, Turmeric, Black Beans and even Cucamelons! Cucamelons are small watermelons the size of grapes and taste like cucumbers with a tinge of sourness. (another blog post will tell you more about these!)
Most weeks, we weed most of the beds (big pots) and fill any beds which need to be filled with dirt and/or compost. In addition, occasionally we need to put new seeds in because we have new beds, the previous seeds don’t grow or we just have space!
We work very hard every day to keep our garden buzzing and we will replace all the old things with new things and we always have the right resources to plant many amazing foods which may sometimes have grown so well that it could be sold in the supermarket.
In gardening there are always ups and downs and sometimes we may feel happy for ourselves that we grew a seed and it was successful and some days we may be disappointed with ourselves that it didn’t work out as we thought it would. Although one thing everyone should have while gardening is resilience. Resilience is a very important virtue in gardening as gardening is not as easy as it looks.
