Today was ECO day at school and the kids were litter picking,weeding planting amongst other things.
The teacher in charge of this area of subject is a young man ,who I helped for a year with the gardening club but didnt like him pulling rank on me so . I once said to someone that he didnt know a Pansy from a potato and was met by fits of laughter and the reply of oh yes he does ( I will leave you to come to your own conclusion there cos I dont want to be done for libel).
Anyway the brilliant idea this year is to give every child a sunflower seed in a pot of compost to take home and grow . Whats wrong with that ................ they had used peat pots ! Dont think the school had got to the page about the ever diminishing peat bogs and the effects on flora and fauna .
