It has been a busy week in the garden this week getting ready for the next round of planting in the raised vegetable beds.
Reception class were out today sowing their pumpkin seeds for the ‘Farnham in Bloom’ competition with Julia Norfolk and Tim Peerless, as well as harvesting the spring greens which were planted last year and which some of the pupils took home today. The team are currently trying to source the resources to install a new raised bed next to the potting shed in which to grow out pumpkins which can grow to enormous sizes. The existing beds are now ready for courgette and sweetcorn plants which will be transplanted into them at the start of the summer term thanks to some hard graft by Flora Rigg and Reception class today in getting the beds cleared. Thanks to very generous donations we now also have a row of raspberry plants in the garden and some beautiful “lambs ears” in the pollinator planter (which has been host to a beautiful moth this week which remains to be identified). A good week had by all and everyone and everything very grateful for the rain!
