It has been a cold week, but we continue to work in the garden! Well, in the shelter of the shed actually! The school was closed on Wednesday due to industrial action. On Thursday, we potted up some winter pansies.
We hope to grow them on a little in the greenhouse before planting them into the barrels outside the front of the school.
Also, at the end of last week Isabela was back to help with more weeding! Here is a before...
...and after picture - great work!
The leeks are still quite small but will continue to grow through the winter months.
The curly Kale is also recovering well - the leaves are no longer being eaten by caterpillars! Maybe some will be ready for our Christmas dinner in a couple of weeks!
On Thursday this week, we ate our Chrismas Dinner. All the ingredients (except bacon, walnuts and gravy) had been grown by us!
We had potato carrot and parsnip mash served with a fried up dish of bacon, walnuts, garlic, onions, curly kale, brussel sprouts, purple sprouting broccoli and even a walking stick cabbage leaf!
Grigor's mother also very kindly cooked us a delicious carrot cake for our dessert - thank you!
On Wednesday, Miss Swallow was out on a school trip. Catriona Charlotte Danielle Annie and Lewis did a sterling job decorating the shed.
A little outdoor touch to spread the festivities!
