| A happy band of gardeners (and harvesters) on a rare sunny day! |
Well the scheme to dedicate each raised bed to a single
Year Group has started working pretty well with the help and involvement of our
dedicated teams of gardeners! Here are some photos to show you how each
Year Group is getting on....not that there's any pressure or anything!
Considering how terrible the weather has been it's all looking great!
 |
| Year 1 - a wide variety of crops! |
 |
| Year 2 - awesome use of the available space |
 |
| Year 2 broad beans doing very well! |
 |
| Year 3 - again, very productive |
 |
| Year 3 lettuces have been a big hit - & no slugs! |
|
|
 |
| Year 4 the wild rocket has gone a bit wild. |
 |
| Year 5 - post harvesting of the leeks |
 |
| Year 5 - Roma tomato plant placed between the courgettes |
 |
| Year 6 - also post harvesting of the leeks |
 |
| Year 6 - 'Sweet Million' cherry tomato plant between the courgettes |
 |
| Year 6 - runner beans (and French beans?) |
One failure has been this rotating compost bin. It's an excellent machine and would be ideal for a small garden where it could be looked after and rotated properly. If anyone wants it they could have it for a donation to the PTA. It needs to have brown matter (cardboard, paper etc) added along with the garden waste, and it need spinning every day. As it has been neglected it's just made a bit of a smelly mess. More details about the composter can be read here.
