Vegetables and Harvest Time.

We have been exploring real fruit and vegetables.

We dug up some tatties and carrots from the vegetable patch in the Nursery Garden.

 

Digging up the vegetables

In the house corner. We've been chopping up carrots, tatties, limes and lemons to see what they look like inside. Some of them are quite hard so we need to be careful when using the knifes. Some of us were brave enough to taste the lemons!

Exploring Real Fruit and Vegetables in the House

  

Sour Lemons

We looked at how farmers use machinery to help them harvest lots of vegetables and crops at the one time. Some of us have been inside a combine harvester before and told our friends all about the machines - They are really big!

Some of us went along to the co-op to look at the kinds of fruit and vegetables they sell.

We took some carrots, parsnips, onions, tatties, sweet potatoes and broccoli back to the nursery.

We looked and talked about the vegetables and chopped them up. We used them to make vegetable soup for our snack, yum!
