The boys planted our first veg today: potatoes. We took the old tyres we had previously used in our garden for growing potatoes and the boys set themselves a little project of preparing the tyre for our first potatoes. Louis helped Neil fill the bottom of the tyre with rocks and then compost and planted 4 seed potatoes. Sammy enjoyed getting water in the elephant can to give them a drink and each time we found a worm Sammy rehoused it over in the tyre!
Louis made a stepping stone path around his potatoes and Sammy ate dirt and put worms in and out of a jar for quite a while which meant we could dig over the large bed for trenches of potatoes.
The weeds didn't look toooooo bad............I'm not holding my breath. Can't wait to get planting in earnest.
