Wintry Spring! Staff get DiGGing!

Spring seemed to be put on hold a little this week. On Wednesday, it was sunny but very cold when we gathered for lunch in the shed. By the end of lunchtime, it was snowing and blowing a gale!! Connorhan, Danielle and Catriona went up to our 'old' site by the astro-turf pitch to re-claim two raised beds that had been left up there. They needed lifting and carrying down to our current site.

On Thursday, we stayed in the shed out of the cold wind and potted on geraniums for the summer colour. We didn't realise that they are not very good for insects, having very little pollen, so next year will choose more carefully.

On Friday, we had our second "staff green gym". Mr MacFarlane and Miss Swallow continued turning turf for our hedgerow.

Danielle helped out by taking photographs and collecting stones that we unearthed.
Below you can see week 1 of the staff green gym: Mrs Mackie and Mrs Russell joined Mr MacFarlane and Miss Swallow to start digging the hedgerow. Both lunchtimes so far have been lovely and sunny despite the cold.
