This week we we got to taste five different varieties of potato! Thanks to all those in room 1 who prepared, boiled and mashed the potatoes during period 4 on Friday.
If you look carefully, you can see Danielle has drawn a small symbol on each plate to identify the variety - above is "King Edwards" hence the crown!
Here, a large pile of "Pink Fir Apple". Other varieties were Smile, Peach Bloom and Blue Belle. We tasted the same ones together at the same time to try and describe their flavours and then voted for our favourite three. It was surprising how different they tasted! The most popular (with 4 votes of "number 1 favourite") was "Smile - they just made you smile with their taste! Next was "Blue Belle" (with 3 "number 1" votes) - their texture was fine, smooth and buttery, mmmm! Third was "Peach Bloom" (with 2 "best" votes) - these were actually quite tangy - unusual but we loved them!
Pink Fir Apple also deserves a mention as it scored 5 "number 2" votes, so was liked second best by most of us! That only leaves the King Edwards which we actually found a bit dry and powdery - maybe they would make better chips or crisps!
We also had beansprouts (Mung, Adikis and Chick Peas) along with lettuce and radish grown by Miss Swallow's gardening class. The lettuce and radish were nice and peppery. 
Above, you can see most of the produce was polished off!
On Thursday Danielle got artistic again - both with the greenhouse window and the camera:
Lettuce leafs are still looking fresh despite a few frosty mornings.
Lewis, Charlotte and Catriona created a new leaf mold pile using posts and chicken wire.
Meanwhile Miss Swallow finished weeding behind the greenhouse so...
...Danielle and Catriona could throw down a selection of daffodil and crocus bulbs.
We straightened them up then Lewis helped Catriona throw soil over the top of them.
