What do you do when all your lettuces are ready at once and there's no time to share them before the holidays? You freeze them! Year 4 enjoyed processing their salad leaves and plan to make soup in the autumn term. Watch this space! 🥬@RHSSchools @ediblecardiff @GrowCardiff

Not sure who enjoyed their homegrown treats the most - the children with their microgreens or tge chickens with their wheatgrass trays. Either way, there wasn't a lot left!! @BHWTOfficial @RHSSchools @SFarms_Gardens @GrowCardiff

[Llanishen Fach @LlanFachOL]
