Gardening club at Bankfield Primary School, Eston
The final gardening club of the year at Bankfield Primary school on Tuesday went well despite the howling wind and horizontal rain.
The children managed to get the bed in their polytunnel all filled and planted with radishes, lettuces and other winter salad crops, hopefully these will grow throughout the winter providing some fresh leaf vegetables for the school.
The children also helped 'winterise' the polytunnel by fitting plastic covers to the door vents, this should allow the temperature to stay higher inside the polytunnel during the coldest winter weather.
In the outside beds the garlic and onions the children planted earlier in the autumn are starting to peak through the soil giving the children an idea of things starting to grow, even the winter peas are starting to make an appearance!
