We returned from the half term break last week to find the newly built flowerbeds in place.The beds have been filled with topsoil but will need a little bit of preparing before they are ready for planting.
The gardening club began by tackling three of the ten new beds. Using riddles and hand forks we have removed some of the stones and large chunks of soil from the beds.
Unfortunately we discovered that the local cat population have taken a shine to the new beds, so we will need to look at measures to discourage them!
To one of the beds, we have added some compost and planted our first crops, garlic and onions.
This week our new storage container has arrived, so we now have somewhere to store our tools.
Over the next few weeks, we will continue to prepare the soil so that as soon as the frosts pass, we can get sowing.
