Tomatoes!

Anybody that knows Lynda knows that she isn't too keen on tomatoes. Ketchup is fine but the actual squishy innards with the seeds floating about - she's not too sure. So, imagine my surprise when she said that we were going to lend a hand to plant some!

A bit of background first. Education for Life is looking for more ways of becoming self sustaining. One of the more practical ways in which it is looking to support itself is the planting and ultimately the harvesting of tomatoes. A great way to provide food for the feeding programme!


The Blakeley family decided to give it a bit of a go. Under the expert tuition of Mr Patrick, our family learned how to plant tomato seedlings. Mr Patrick has been very dedicated in training people to prepare the ground and implementing an impressive drip feed system.  The soil feels very sandy here so it needs a lot of water.  The boys loved getting even dirtier than normal and had a great time. It was a great learning experience as well as fun with our friends here.
