Christmas Leaves

Pupils harvested the Russian Kale , Chard and Lettuce to sell at the Christmas  gift sale. The stall sold out in 30 minutes.

Golden Beetroot

Today there was a lot to harvest. Blackberries,  raspberries,  cabbage, courgettes,  tomatoes but best of all were the golden beetroots.

Is a caterpillar ticklish?

Today everyone worked very hard weeding, watering and harvesting cabbages. The snails and caterpillars fascinated everyone and the fact that they eat our vegetables was forgotten for a moment.

Terrific Tuesday

Well today eleven children and three adults came to work in the garden. Lots of jobs got done and everyone went away with something to cook or eat.

Mums in the compost

Thursday was an inspiring day in the garden. I was expecting one or two children but ten children and their parents came. The compost was turned, the beds were weeded and tidied, seeds were planted. It poured with rain just after we had finished.

Full of promise

The planting plan is done, the seeds are planted everything is ready. Now we have to take good care of all our plants.

Leeks and much more

The garden is a hive of activity. We are putting down bark chips, looking after our trees as well as growing our seedlings in the greenhouse. Lend lease are building us a polytunnel as well as some seating.
