Huge effort to tidy up the vegetable plots

Gardening Club had a very busy week tidying up the beds from the summer crops.  The sunflowers were all pulled up and the heads left on the fence to encourage the birds in to feed off them.

Pulling the sunflowers out after the heads had been taken off. 

The heads were then attached on to the fence for the birds to feed off. 

Great teamwork in picking some of the crops including spinach and beetroot.  Unfortunately, some of the radishes and runner beans were too old and woody although some of the children did take the runner bean seeds to dry out and plant later on next year. 

A hive of activity - busy picking crops, digging the beds, pulling up the weeds, removing the dead plants onto the compost bins and sorting out the canes.
