The first market stall
Today the Kids’ Vegies on the Verge had their first Market stall!
Getting ready
Neighbours dropped in to buy some organic vegies and have a chat (or vice versa).
Chatting and buying vegies
There wasn’t all that much produce and most of it (except the zucchinis ) had sold in a bit over an hour.
Serving customers
The kids still found the wait between customers pretty long.
Waiting for the first customer!
The girls researched prices of vegies (and were horrified at how little the selling price was), did some advertising in the street, served customers and played games.
“Tomartoes” sold by the bunch!
The garden has begun to spread. We planted a lemon tree on the nature strip next door and will be planting some more trees soon. Hopefully it is going to continue spreading in the street.
Preparing the ground
The garden spreads
The garden is beginning to produce quite a bit and kids regularly pick produce and eat it on the spot. Recently a nine-year-old girl ate 30 purple beans!
Harvesting

Making an in-ground worm farm
It certainly continues to bring people together.
