After the excitement of the Get Your Grown-Ups Growing day last weekend, it's been a fairly quiet week in the Potager Garden.
The weather is definitely feeling a lot colder : and there's frost in the mornings so we're keeping the plants safely wrapped up under their fleeces.
The gravel which has now been raked around the raised beds is helping to keep the area accessible in this damp weather.
Amongst the items on sale on the Gift Stall last weekend were packets of seeds - each designed by pupils in L6A during their Art and ICT Lessons. These were 'best sellers' on the stall. Pupils painted the pictures, and designed and assembled the packets before filling them with seeds.
No doubt many will find their way into Christmas Stockings this year.
Much of the focus now is on preparing for the next stage of finishing the Bottle Greenhouse - and we will take delivery of the balance of the 2012 Coca Cola bottles in the New Year.
We're hoping to welcome a 'Guest Speaker' to the garden before the end of term to discuss with pupils what they may possibly grow in the greenhouse once it has been completed.
