Children from Foresters Primary School in Sutton, south London, show off the organic vegetables they picked as part of a lesson on gardening.

To learn how vegetables grow, the children visited the borough'sRoundshaw Allotments. After finding out how potatoes grow and whetherthe roots, leaves or fruits of different plants could be eaten thechildren picked their own vegetables from the allotments, includingpumpkins and parsnips.

During their visit the children also got to see frogs and newts in theallotments' wildlife pond and the piles of logs used to attract beetlesand other insects to its wildlife garden.
