Eco blog:

Our Eco team have been busy behind the scenes, we have been preparing our school allotment plots ready for the growing season. We have been spreading farmyard manure (sorry for the smell), weeding our beds and sowing some cold resistant seeds. So far we have 6 lovely bags of potatoes doing really well and our strawberry plants are growing too. We have planted peas, carrots, lettuce, radishes and beetroots so far. 

We are also very lucky to be involved in a science experiment from Southampton University. The aim is to see if Legumes and staple foods such as Chick Peas, lentils and lablab beans can be grown in the UK. Our seeds have been sown and we are waiting patiently to see how we get on.
