Oscar helped water the salad seedlings.
He watered the strawberries too!
We had a very busy afternoon on Tuesday. A wee group came to help Kate in the polytunnel. It was very warm and it didn’t take long for us to get our cardies and jumpers off. Everything needed water – we all took turns to water the salad seedlings, the strawberries, the pumpkin patch and the broad beans. Kind friends from Milngavie in Bloom had brought us more lettuce seedlings and some strawberry plants. We got a compost bed ready and planted them in rows. We had to be careful not to break the tiny wee roots and the children were extremely gentle with them. Later Millie used the hose to clean the trowels and did a great job- even managing to water Oscar a little in the process. Everyone thought this was hilarious – fortunately- even Oscar! We are looking forward to watching everything growing over the next 5 weeks and maybe we’ll be able to supply the whole of Milngavie with salad!
Lauren brought her apple seeds to nursery.
“Let’s plant them,” she said. “We could put the wee trees into the orchard when they grow!”
Aimee got the wee trenches ready to plant the seedlings in. ” I help my grandpa do this!” she said.
Lauren planted her seeds in pots.
Aimee also helped with the watering.
Eilidh, Millie and Lauren did a bit of digging to get the new bed ready for more salad seedlings
