Green Diggers Summer 2010
Happy Summer Time
Hello Diggers,
Summer is here and there are new sights and sounds all around outside. Bees are buzzing in the flowers, plants have grown tall and swish and sway in the breeze, streams bubble over pebbles and stones and there are lovely fresh vegetables and salads to eat from the garden.
When you go outside why not see how many insects are busy working away among the flowers and plants or grow a salad to eat in picnic sandwiches (there are lots more growing ideas in your ‘Starting Gardening’ book which came with your Green Club Welcome Pack.) If it rains your summer newsletter has lots of exciting ideas for things to make, there is a new competition, a wordsearch to complete and jokes to share with your friends.
Happy gardening!
Love Diggy

 | Your friends will get a Welcome Pack and Green Digger Newsletters just like you do. Diggy will send you some great gardening gloves to say ‘thank you’. |
 | Diggy sometimes gets bored with the same old food but he has come up with some exciting ways of eating lovely fruit and salad - without leaving anything on the plate because the food is so delicious! |
 | If you watch carefully in the garden you will see big, furry bees going from flower to flower. They are gentle and slow and not at all like the buzzy honey bees which give us honey. |
 | Eating things you grow is one of the best parts of gardening and at this time of year (because it is warm and sunny) it is easy to grow things like lettuce, radishes and spring onions. |
 | Have you ever thought about all the sounds you can hear outside in the garden or park? Diggy likes to listen to the bees buzzing, the wind rustling the leaves on trees and frogs plopping in the pond. |
 | Diggy would love to see photos or drawings of all your garden musical instruments – the best will be printed in the next newsletter. |
