other herbs and all got a bag full each to take home. We have agreed that any vegetables that become
ready over the school holidays can be donated to the Food Bank

squash and peas and we bombed the side of the road close to the school. If some of these seeds grow to become
vegetables then they will be available to anyone who wants then

plants that have come up in our composting material. Doug said that they were giant pumpkins as he had dumped the
