All hands on deck!

This week has seen a new poly-tunnel frame take shape!  This will be our outdoor classroom for working in breezy or drizzly weather.  Thanks to our volunteer Liz for getting stuck in with it.

With a concerted effort, all the metal work has now been completed.

A huge thank you goes to Dave at the council depot who gave us a trailer of shredded bark...

 ready to mulch the borders next week.

The sun has continued to shine (between April hail showers!) ...

and the daffodils & tulips are looking great.

Thanks to S5 pupil Mark for helping to build a new raised bed along the fence...

...and to Euan for raising up the edges of the beds in the poly-tunnel.

Meanwhile the EAGer bunch sowed more seeds on Friday (runner beans, climbing beans and courgettes)

Kiera refilled all the clean bird feeders...

...and Ross cleared the broccoli plants from the polytunnel (the birds have had the best of these!)

Seeds are germinating well...

...and this week, Miss T had lots in her produce box: cabbage, broccoli, rhubarb, parsley, leeks, carrots, kale and beetroot!

Next week it is NATIONAL GARDENING WEEK so everyone is invited to come out to enjoy the garden - either to help with jobs or just relax in a deckchair between showers!  Our bird boxes are in use so there'll be bird song plus there is lots of colour to enjoy as the borders start to blossom so hope to see you there!
