This week at Diggers we planted carrots and created a new herb garden. But first we prepared the beds...Carrots like fine well- drained soil so we broke up the clumps in the bed and as we planted the carrots we added some sand to help the rain drain away.
Meanwhile the herbs : Lemon balm, parsley, rosemary, coriander, thyme and spearmint were planted.
To stop the mint spreading too much we buried a bucket with holes drilled in it and planted the mint in that.
The salad leaves are growing well in the polytunnel and the strawberries are flowering.
A cheeky robin came to see what we were up to !
