Growing their own vegetables is not only giving our eager young members of the Happy House Young Farmers' Club a valuable life skill, it is also proving to be very good fun.
This weekend our boys and girls have filled bags with top soil, before choosing which seeds they want to plant from a selection offered by Uncle Chris, our gardener.
Everyone has put their name tag on their bag, and must take care of it while their seeds germinate and become healthy seedlings when they will transplant them into a bed in one of the greenhouses.
Mama Sue says: "I suggested they grow something we can cook at Kookery Klub. A while ago they planted pumpkins which are coming along well so as soon as they are ready to harvest we'll make pumpkin pie together.
"I've never made it before so it will be new to me, but i know I'll be able to find a recipe on the net!''
