Back 2 Nature | Llantwit Major School

So disheartened with the damage the storm caused to the school garden. 💨💨 I had to take the roof down today on the seating area as a hazard. Polytunnel has a few rips here and there but solid as a rock. 💪🏼

Students clearing the tomato beds today and getting ready for winter. A lucky student too taking grapes and tomato’s home. 🍇🍅

An excellent start in the first Gardening Club of the year @LlantwitMajorSc The beds provided in the @Keep_Wales_Tidy top up package all weeded 🥬🥦🍅 The damson tree has moved in 👌🏻 Amazing what you can do in 45mins. 😁

Always happy to supply local produce to the food share.🍇🥒 @VOGCouncil @SchoolHealthVoG @thevalefood @Keep_Wales_Tidy @GWmag @BBCWales @AlunCairns @JaneHutt

Local food share donation going in today. The grape vine has produced an incredible number of grapes. This is about 50%. I will hopefully have some more time this year to get some more produce out 🍇👌🏻 @Keep_Wales_Tidy @thevalefood @SchoolHealthVoG @PublicHealthW

The grapes are starting to ripen 👌🏻🍷

Grapevine @LlantwitMajorSc is a cracker this year! 🍇🍇 Waiting for them to ripen up.

A nice mid morning snack! @Keep_Wales_Tidy @thevalefood @SchoolHealthVoG @Vale_LNP

Some amazing work done today with the top up package provided by @Keep_Wales_Tidy along with our students. It was so impressive how they worked so hard to get these built in one day! 👏🏻👏🏻 More space for growing 😁 @LlantwitMajorSc

More progress pics tomorrow but the grape vine is looking exceptional, full of bunches 🍇 Kiwi vine is also amazing 🥝 Sweet Peas, tomatoes, spuds. The weather makes a real difference! @Keep_Wales_Tidy in tomorrow with the top up package we were kindly awarded. 😁

Artichoke, Zucchini, Beetroot, tomatoes, beans along with the sweet peas, Kiwi vine and the grape vine 👌🏻🪴🥝🍆🫛 Looking forward to some produce in the next couple of weeks. @Keep_Wales_Tidy @LlantwitMajorSc @thevalefood @BBCFood @GWmag

Here’s an idea. Instead of national service, which is obviously idiotic, how about kids working on farms.

Year 9 scientists gathering soil samples with Mr Jones. They will do pH testing and then see which one will grow the best bean 👌🏻🌱🪴 @LlantwitMajorSc

Potatoes tump’d up, time to let them grow. 🥔🥔🥔

When do I harvest this Cauliflower? 🤔🤔

An excellent start to the garden this year with over 30 students helping throughout lunch time to dig over the beds! 🥦🌽💪🏼 @Keep_Wales_Tidy @SchoolHealthVoG @thevalefood

This sheep wool insulation is much nicer to work with than the fibreglass alternative. 🐏🐑

I found these two on our driveway. Presumably hatched eggs removed from the nest. Are they thrushes eggs? Blackbird? So beautiful. I hope the chicks survive Storm Kathleen and the parents find enough food.

Our garden is ready for some spring weather, if we ever get it?! 🌧️ thanks to some graft with @fellowspj2009 today. 💪🏼 Some more chippings to reinstate all original paths but we are well on our way. 😁🌽🥦🍅 @LlantwitMajorSc

WARNING this is very very upsetting. Hang your head in shame those of you who will not accept that all carriers of it must be dealt with to end this suffering. 13 heavily pregnant cattle killed on the yard. The real toll of #TB on W... youtu.be/Aq-LI6j7O7c?si… via @YouTube
