Planting Potatoes on a Sunny March Day

The garden reps were very busy again today planting potatoes in our garden. We had lots of help from Luke and Chloe Farrells' Granddad Thomas, Dad Thomas and brother Rhys as well as Megans' Grandmother Nancy. Thank you so much for all your help!
Isobel and Kiera finish our School Pond sign in the sunny weather!!

Fabulous work girls!!!☺
Mr O'Cearra's class finish digging a trellis for our little fence. The fence will hopefully protect our daffodils and tulips from being trampled on !!!
Luke, Chloe and Rhys' Dad talk to our garden reps about the sprouts on our potatoes.
Thomas helped us dig a drill in our raised bed and then we sowed the potatoes!! They had to be an equal distance apart so that they will have enough room to grow.

We hope to harvest our potatoes at the end of June and bake some potato wedges for the whole school!!


Megan's grandmother Nancy came to help us with our garden. She loves gardening and spoke to us about what she has planted in her own garden.
Rhys, his dad and his grandad pose for a lovely picture. Another great family effort in our School Garden!!
