Crop Shop!


We had a garden gate sale at the school today. Fair to say that there was a bit more colour compared to two weeks ago when the potatoes and broad beans were sold. 





Between the two we have added £70 to the garden fund.


There are flowers as well as veg.



And demonstration beds like the "4 Seasons" veg beds designed to have something cropping at any time of the year.


We also maintain a rotation.  Here are the legumes (with soft fruit to the left).


Here are the netted brassicas




And some exotics like sweetcorn and pumpkins.


Let's not forget the wildflower bed:




The level of interest from pupils, parents and passersby (it is beside a public footpath) is a source of great encouragement.
