This week on our allotment, the children got straight to work weeding the top beds. The beds are looking a little overgrown now and are in need of some much needed cleaning. As well as lots of weeds, the beds are also home to lots of mini beasts. The children always find mini beasts intriguing and all work stopped so we could take a closer look.

Some children continued to weed whilst others decided they should water all of the vegetables we have growing and we do have quite a lot. Outside we have pumpkins, onions, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, sprouts and sweetcorn. Inside the polytunnel we have French beans, courgettes, pumpkins, a variety of herbs, chilli, peppers and tomatoes so there was a lot of watering to do!
