Well, it's been another busy week. On Monday we planted a courgette plant into a tyre. We have twelve more needing to be planted, but have run out of soil! (Thankfully, there's some due to be delivered on the activity day next Monday). It was hot and sunny so we ate more peas and watered as much as we could.
On both Wednesday and Friday we dug in more raised beds ready to fill with soil next week. The ground was very dry and hard to dig. Below you can see a barrel that we want to convert into a water butt to help with watering in future.DIGGers meet on Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes - we aim to grow our own fruit and veg and have fun eating it! We also raise money for charity each year through a growing competition and give our primary schools a competition to try and win the "Lewis MacKenzie Trophy" (see bottom of page for a list of winners and fundraisers).

Welcome to primary pupils!
If you are a P7 pupil, then well done for finding your way to this blog! We hope that you enjoyed our assembly last week and got to taste some bean sprouts! Don't forget to draw a poster for the "Betty MacKenzie Greenhouse" ready for August, and visit Frank Nicol's to see the sunflowers growing to raise money to buy a goat for a family in Africa.
