We arrived at the allotment today and it was wet and rainy but that did not stop us! We looked closely at the pond to see if the tadpoles had grown. The children pointed them out as they were everywhere and looked much bigger than last week. The plants are beginning to flourish and we could see movement in the pond. We wonder what we might see next week!

We are excited to start planting on the allotment, but before we can do that we need to prepare our vegetable beds. We popped on our gardening gloves and began pulling the weeds out (there are lots of them) but we made a very good start and have two beds ready to plants our potatoes and onions in next week.

We have also worked hard to prepare our new growing space this week and managed to cover the cage with fresh new netting. We were very proud of our hard work and thrilled to see the allotment taking shape for the growing season.
