We’ve been busy in the garden this spring and summer – just haven’t been sharing with our blog. As the harvest is coming in, we’ve returned to show off our skills.
This year, as well as planting our usual garden up with seeds and seedlings in spring, Clare brought in some seed potatoes and bags of compost, which we put in disused bed outside rooms 9 and 10.
Over the term we’ve been amazed at how much the potato plants have grown, and we’ve been adding more compost to encourage them to grow even more potatoes up the stems.
Monday was harvest day, and out of our garden which is about 2m by 2m, we got a decent basket of potatoes.
Next step – eating our produce!
