A busy afternoon at Gardening Club last week, where the Minihorts
showed in one hour why we grow the things we eat! One group spent half
an hour or so on a late sowing of maincrop potatoes (Desiree), which we
expect to harvest in the autumn; while another group were busy
harvesting some of the early potatoes (Rocket) that we sowed in March
...
... but that isn't all - some of these potatoes
will go into veg boxes, but some were put to a more immediate and tasty
use - they were sliced very thinly to make crisps, which were delicious
and far better for us than the crisps that come in a packet. We now know the whole life-cycle of these potatoes from seed to plate, and they
never once left the school grounds.
That's one of the reasons why we do it - well done to the Minihorts!
