Today we took a washing up bowl and some toy ‘crockery’ and ‘cutlery’ up to Community Roots as the new mud kitchen was about to be made by one of the volunteers. It really pleases me that the toys used by our children and their children will now have a new life with the children who come to Community Roots. .
And here is the finished kitchen for the youngsters who come to Roots to have fun with.
All the tomatoes are in their poly-tunnel, just waiting for the stringing up.
The onions in their outside plot are coming along nicely.

Oh, I love that kitchen. I love pallets. I am just trying to make a bench out of pallets. Basically like that kitchen, 3 Pallets high and a back rest. Need to do a bit of sawing though.
It’ll be fun. I’ll show it when it’s ready. ♥️

I’ll look forward to seeing your bench. How resourceful are you! Will certainly did quite a lot of sawing in the making of the kitchen for the kids. 🙂

That surprises me, isn’t it Autumn now for you? We did our sowing in early Spring…. 🙂

My planting guide( specifically for a summer rainfall zone, as Jo’burg is) suggests late summer early autumn. April is pretty much the end date and all but one try if seedlings are in the ground.
I was out this afternoon after work planting leeks.
