Competition Potatoes Finally Planted!

 Despite another cold, wet and windy week, we FINALLY managed to plant the potatoes for our competition!

 Grigor adds compost to cover the tuber.

Mr MacFarlane adopted one more potato, so that makes 23 now!  Each one in its own bag with a scientifically weighed-out amount of compost to give them all an equal chance!  We turned the compost bags inside out, so when (if!) the sun shines, the black outer will absorb the rays and warm up the compost more quickly to help the plants grow.  It's important that we don't mix them up until the bags are clearly labelled!

We also had a visitor on Friday - Alison Hammerton from Education Scotland.  She recorded some video of Grigor and Miss Swallow talking about how the garden has developed, what we have learned and what things are most fun.

Despite the wind and rain, the grass was strimmed this week too which helps make the garden feel tidy.  Also, DiGGers would like to wish Grigor's grandmother a Happy Birthday!  Hope you are enjoying following us on the blog.
