Hoe, Hoe, Hoe

Today, we tackled the weeds with a vengence.

The children got busy and hoed the weeds out of three of the unused raised beds. They then planted out the courgettes, brussel sprouts and cabbages that had been started off in pots.

Over the holiday, the salad leaves had run to seed, so these were pulled out to make way for new sowings. The beetroot and cauliflower beds also had a thorough weeding.

The potatoes are coming along nicely. Today, the children added extra compost to the poato barrels and gave them a good watering.
