During the summer holidays we had a few meetings. We harvested lots of raspberries, some strawberries, cabbages, lettuce, radish, lots of tomatoes and some cucumbers. We also picked 4lbs of blackcurrants (about 2Kg) and put them in the freezer so we can make jelly in the next wee while.
The gardening grannies and grandpas kept the polytunnel and the flower beds well watered, and now we are admiring the lobelia and alyssum in the tubs at the front of the school which we grew from seed.
At our first regular meeting of the term we started cutting down the raspberry canes which had fruited, and tying in the new ones ready for a good crop next year.
We planted potatoes, one bag with three potatoes each, so that we can have a wee crop of new potatoes at Christmas time.
And we weeded the raised beds, planted two bushy chrysanthemums at the front of the school, and picked lots of tomatoes and peas to take home.
Haven’t we been busy!!
