Growing season underway at Southend

The growing season is underway at Southend Primary and when the weather was a bit warmer last week we took the opportunity to prepare the soil and get planting.  Our wormery was emptied and the lovely worms added to our veg patches. We had collected peas from last year’s crop so they were picked over and the best ones kept for sowing in a few weeks. Potatoes were planted in our deep troughs, carrots and lettuce were sown and we divided strawberry plants from last year and repotted them to produce lots of new healthy plants.
