Dear Mr Penny,
Thank you for this term of Kitchen Garden. You are an amazing gardener.
Thank you for being generous to us this term. I got to learn many things.
I never knew before about: bok choy, basil, chives, parsley, worm tea, mulch, weed tea, white apples, minims, pink lime berries and way more.
You have been generous and let us even try all these fruits.
WE EVEN HAD PIZZA!!!!! Thank you so much Mr Penny.
