This week, we rescued the willow seat from being overtaken by nature!! Below you can see the "before picture" and above the "after". We cut the willow shoots from the front and wove others into the back of the structure. We also topped it up with more soil so now just need the wood lengths to sit on - watch this space!
"There's a seat in here somewhere!" 
Also, we had a bit of a disaster during the week, as two classes are now using the garden. One group of pupils got a bit keen with weeding and pulled up our squash plants by mistake! You can see the leaves on top of this pile waiting to go on the compost! Oh dear! The staff are now making sure that any weeding is on the paths, as the classes will look after their own raised beds, and we'll keep maintaining ours!

This week, we returned to school after a rather wet summer holiday! Some things have grown like mad (including weeds as you can see amongst the onions above!) and others not at all (we don't have a single runner bean or brussel sprout as yet this year!)
The rhubarb has recovered from whatever was munching it in June and looks quite healthy now.
