The Diary of an Organic Gardener

Spring is on the way...which means it's time for 2nd ESO to get on with their organic vegetable garden project.(OVGP). Saúl the school gardener came to turn over the earth and prepare the soil and thanks to the Ramiro Cobo garden centre in La Cavada for giving us the plants, seeds and some materials to help us on our way.

It's sweltering today!! Perfect weather for venturing outside. 2ESO pupils are raring to go...we've prepared the soil and material so it's time to plant the different onion varieties. This requires care and patience, as each tiny plant is put into the soil and watered. Next a few cabbages for those winter bean stews. "What about making a scarecrow?"says one pupil. "And a white fence", says another....Looks like this project is going to last until June!
