The
Gardening Club members made their second batch of jelly this term.
A few weeks ago they made blackcurrant jelly, which was just delicious on
toast! Today they made apple and Rowan berry jelly.
What a sweet treat, with all fruits grown in our school grounds.
A huge thank you to Mrs Morrison for sharing her jelly making talents.
On Thursday we were very busy despite the heat. As well as lifting, washing, drying and weighing the potatoes, there was a lot of watering done. We finished planting out the leeks and beetroot seedlings and some runner beans; and we weeded a couple of beds too!
Our Eco representatives helped to move soil from our old raised beds to our newly situated larger raised beds down beside the poly tunnel. Meanwhile another team of diggers filled up the new beds with top soil. What a job!
Last Thursday the Gardening Club members planted up the round bed at the front of the school and other planting area there.
They also planted leeks, beetroot seedlings, sowed turnip seeds , planted out
french beans and watered liberally.
All of the plants are extra thirsty, with all of this dry weather!
Primary 5 pupils helped the Gardening Club to move two tonnes of top soil into the brand new raised beds. It was a hot day and they were treated to an ice lolly to cool down. Great team work!
