Planting Seed Potatoes in Primary Three and Four

21st Mar 2022

Today Primary Three and Four worked very hard to plant seed potatoes in our garden.  The children know that traditionally potatoes are planted after St. Patrick’s Day.  Then on a recent video Fr White told us the ground should be more than nine degrees.  To ensure this the children used a data logger to check the soil temperature before they began, surprisingly the soil temperature was 13.2 degrees. The children dug a trench and were careful to plant the potatoes with their eyes up.  They then made there was plenty on compost in the trench and watered the seed potatoes.
