Grandad Rob come to our class to help kickstart our learning about plants this term. Grandad Rob talked us through what an allotment is, what he plants and grows, the best season for planting certain foods/flowers as well as telling us about his giant pumpkin which he nutured and grew. The pumpkin was so big it needed two people to lift it and a wheel barrow to get it out of the allotment. Grandad Rob also gave us some potato plants to grow as well as a cauliflower and strawberry plant!
