The CSN polytunnel is a hive of activity as our TY Horticulture students are doing trojan work.

We already have a fantastic regular harvest of tasty winter salad leaves including rocket, mizuna and spinach. The cabbages are coming along nicely and our onions , garlic, early carrots and mangetout are all starting to germinate and sprout. We are interested to see how these fare over the cold winter months.

The students have also been busy planting bulbs for the Spring. We are hoping to add a splash of colour to the school environment with daffodils, tulips, crocuses, irises and alliums. We also have a raspberry cane and rhubarb so there is lots of variety. 

The boys are also getting stuck into the tedious tasks of weeding, gathering leaves for compost, picking and bagging salad leaves and general maintenance of the polytunnel and the sandpit. 

Many hands make light work! Well done lads. Superb effort.
