The children took great pleasure in hunting among the nasturtiums for ripe green french and runner beans. And who could resist having a little taste? Two children were even persuaded to try their very first tomato.

Glorious Gardening Weather
Our gardening team was greeted with positively glorious weather today for our walk down to Fagley Youth Centre. Pete Tatham has been overseeing the development of the Youth Centre vegetable garden and was delighted to welcome our team and share his experience of vegetable growing in Fagley. Since March this year, Pete has been kept busy filling the two poly tunnels and multitude of raised beds (many of which he has constructed himself) with a wide range of vegetables, some familiar to our children and some new and exciting varieties.

There was just time for a spot of watering (with Pete's homemade nettle liquid fertilizer) before heading back to school, spotting some signs of autumn along the way.
