		<title>The Last Friday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Friday was the last time we will meet after school due to trips and the school Fun Day. We tied up the tomatoes and harvested some courgettes (loads more to come). The lettuce is growing faster than we can eat it. The kids had a great time digging for our first potatoes which went [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=downsellgarden.wordpress.com&blog=3586570&post=288&subd=downsellgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>a few days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is a collection of several days. Once we had the plants in the raised beds we were struck with several days of strong wind and some of them looked poorly. R.I.P. melons.

As time went by most of the plants survived the weather and the half-term. R.I.P. chives. The tomatos are looking great. The [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=downsellgarden.wordpress.com&blog=3586570&post=253&subd=downsellgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>day 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back to working on the raised beds. We finished the second raised bed with the rest of our soil and planted tomatoes, courgettes, mustard, and melons. The foxes have so far stayed off our raised beds but we put some netting over them just in case

		<title>day 6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Big day today. This week we received 1000 kg of soil for the raised beds and today we filled the larger one. Unfortunately only two members of the club came along. We were however lucky to find some enthusiastic volunteers. All the children helping moved at least their weight in soil today. We began by [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=downsellgarden.wordpress.com&blog=3586570&post=206&subd=downsellgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>day 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the irregular updates&#8230; therefore three posts in short succession. The week after our weekend raised bed building effort we inspected the raised bed frames with the rest of the club. We also finished the plastic lining of the smaller bed
Once that was done we looked at how our vegetables, herbs, and flowers were [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=downsellgarden.wordpress.com&blog=3586570&post=183&subd=downsellgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Saturday Session 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once again the weather was great to work in the garden. Our wood had arrived for the raised beds so we wanted to get those built as soon as possible. The timber was kindly donated by T. Brewer &#38; Co Ltd and we also received a generous donation from the Timber Trade Federation (London &#38; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=downsellgarden.wordpress.com&blog=3586570&post=143&subd=downsellgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Day 2 and Day 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Day 2 we were unlucky because our compost that was meant to be used for some planting had gone missing. We therefore spent the time talking about the future projects in the garden and designing some features of it. On Day 3 we were able to plant lots of seeds including chives, courgettes, melons, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=downsellgarden.wordpress.com&blog=3586570&post=139&subd=downsellgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>day 1 &#8211; the mission</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was the first day of this year’s Gardening Club. We were on a special mission to replant all the large flowerpots outside the school building. Our new gardeners were up to the challenge and did a great job. The weather could not have been better and it was hard getting the kids to stop [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=downsellgarden.wordpress.com&blog=3586570&post=101&subd=downsellgarden&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week will see the beginning of this year’s Gardening Club. Children in Year 3 and Year 5 will begin to work on the garden where we left off the year before. Hopefully this year we will be able to complete the pond and build the raised beds for vegetables.
