We entered the "grow your own" campaign again this year and our infants will be growing their own potatoes this year. We were luckily enough to be one of the schools chosen to have a farmer visit the school. Mr Carruth who lives locally came in to see us and he gave us lots of advice about planting our potatoes. He helped us plant them and told us lots about his family who are cattle farmers. He brought lots of pictures to show us as well as examples of the different things the cattle eat.
We are trying to grow our own food so that our food doesn't need to travel very far. This is better for the planet as well as helping local suppliers. We weighed our potatoes last year so this year we are looking for a heavier crop. Keep watching for an update. A big thank you to Mr Carruth for giving up his time to come in and help us.
