Today it was incredibly rainy in the morning and the temperature dropped off in the afternoon. It felt as though winter has finally arrived and yet we had a fun time working together under the shelter and inside the polly tunnel. We lit a warm fire and had plenty of hot drinks to keep us cosy and even a piece of delicious cake baked by one of our students.

Woodworking projects were making bird boxes, more bug hotels and some silver birch clothes pegs. We worked as a team to dig a channel in the morning to divert the rainwater away from the wooden cupboard and in the afternoon we raked up a lot of leaves to be used to make biochar. A great day was had by us all.

We were thrilled to see how well the chilli plants are doing which we have grown from seed in the polly tunnel
