Rake rake rake! Plant and build!

We have been busy mowing the grass which means there are lots of cuttings to collect!

Both classes, the community group and EAGer bunch have helped.  Rakes and trugs at the ready!

We are putting some in the compost heaps and some on top of our wildlife piles to form a "thatch" roof.

On Friday we also started (TRYING) to plant spring bulbs!  The ground is very compacted which makes it difficult to get the bulb planters deep enough!

We are starting with daffodils.  This week, we hope to take delivery of 1000 crocus bulbs from Ellon Rotary so they will keep us busy!!

Pupils have also been sowing seeds - practicing first with the density...

...before sowing foxglove and poppy seeds in trays.

Other big news is that we have started building a path.  This is the "before" photo...

...during...

...and after!  Still much more to go, but it's looking great so far!

Also, the shed has had a good rearrangement and tidy so there is room to sit round the tables properly.
