digging

it was like an Easter egg hunt, with cries of "I've got another one" and squeals of delight as more were un earthed.
Hugo went to his schools Gardening Club tonight. A program that runs after school on a Tuesday night. The school has a "sustainable" garden, which is managed by the children. Last year the gardening group planted potatoes, and tonight we got to share their hard work and un earth all the potatoes. there were 3-4 different varieties. all the children collected them, we sorted them and then got to take them home.
a parent, who is a landscape Gardener, runs the program along with the Principal. it was such a great way to spent time at the school, making it feel more like an extension of home, a community rather than just a learning institution. Hugo (and Arch) loved it, and we will be back next week.
