Seed Potato Sales and Splitting Snowdrops

This week, we prepared orders for delivery to staff.  We are selling "Orla" seed potatoes to raise money for the garden.  They are an adaptable potato to grow as they are a "first early" which means they can be lifted early in the season as new potatoes with a delicate flavour but can also be left in the ground to grow into bigger "main-crop" potatoes that will store well too.

Sophie and Megan also potted up some snowdrops that have been dug up from the old school site.

They split large clumps to make more smaller ones that can fill out in readiness for planting into the memorial garden at a later date.

Meanwhile, Kieran continued to break up pallets and remove the nails so we can use the free wood for making bug boxes and picket fences.

We would also like to thank Miss Anderson who has donated some gardening equipment (including the soil and troughs we used today for the snowdrops).  It was a pleasure to find the box sitting with a note by the garden shed, so thank you!
