On Wednesday, we had an "Activity day" so welcomed other pupils into the garden to help us with jobs! Here you can see some "visitors from space" have landed to paint the shed!
Meanwhile, we were putting up a gazebo in preparation for our first Garden Party on Thursday.
Jack and Alan did an amazing job with the weeding!
We bought a "Lewis MacKenzie Trophy" for the primary schools to compete to win.
Connorhan ties up the Walking Stick Cabbages. We are leaving them to form seed pods so we can collect the seeds in the autumn. They really needed staking as they had flopped right over the paths!
Mrs Cormack kindly lent us her BBQ for the Garden Party, so we tested it out today by making hot chocolate and toasting marshmallows.
We put bunting on the gazebo for a festive feel.
Drinks for all.
Alan was suffering with hay fever so the weeding had to stop for a while and they made a good supply of paper pots.
Lewis runs with our very own olympic flame! Charlotte, Catriona, Danielle and Lewis were "messing about in the shed with origami!"
Amy, Thomasin and Victoria worked really hard weeding the path.
Danielle was weeding from the other direction so we could meet in the middle
Mmmm, is someone trying to quieten her down? lol
This one would make a good caption competition!
Connorhan, Jack and Alan dig up potatoes and garlic.
A good crop of earlies ready to make leek and potato soup for the Garden Party
We were lucky with the weather - not sunny, but not too rainy either!
Showing Alan how to plant out peas. Connorhan has made an excellent wigwam for them to climb up.
Miss Swallow made potato and leek soup that evening, and on Thursday, the DiGGers made garlic bread (with our own garlic) to eat with it.
