And then the heavens opened!















Today, we ventured out hoping to dodge the showers.

The children transplanted the climbing beans sown by class 2, into larger growing containers. We just managed to get two of the containers planted up and a wigwam of support canes into one of the containers before the heavens opened. So we hastily beat a retreat indoors.

The children planted up the final container indoors. Hopefully we will be able to dodge the showers for long enough this week to get outside and put support canes in the other two containers.


Whilst inside, the children planted some more courgette seeds. We have put these seeds into the mini-greenhouse to germinate as the ones put in the heated propagator last week grew too leggy.

With all the rain forecast, at least we don't have to worry about the raised beds drying out over the spring bank holiday!
