On Wednesday this week, we worked to harvest the potatoes we had growing in bags. Just before the bell was due to go, Dale unveiled his secret treat...he had used our Kale, Onion and Garlic in a simple flan recipe the day before.
It was delicious and there was plenty to go around - back in the base, everyone enjoyed tasting what was left too and were surprised at how tasty the bright coloured chard was!
This was us getting potatoes out of the growing bags....
... Anaya and Vicki meanwhile were weighing them into bags to sell to staff next week.
On Thursday, we finished them, and there were lots of worms underneath where the bags had been standing, as well as in the soil. We threw them back, to keep "working their magic" on the soil!
"Oh no, I've got worm soup!"

There are still lots of leaves around, so we might rake some up next week...
Also this week, Dale planted an acorn that the Forest School class had found in Evanton Woods, and we also planted a couple of walnuts taken from the oldest Walnut tree in Scotland! It's quite close to us in Dingwall, so we must try to go and see it one day.
