We did some work on our school gardens recently (23rd Feb), repotting some of the plants which we had bought but hadn't had time to plant properly yet. Most of plants had thrived where we had left them, especially the Snakeweed plants, which shot up despite little tending.
We managed to repot 3 Snakeweed plants (Stachytarpheta indica) and 2 Wedelia biflora in about an hour. Below are some of the photos taken.

| We spotted a cocoon on one of the Wedelia plants, to much joy! |

| The soil was exceptionally packed and hard to dig that morning. |

| One of the many, many, MANY earthworms we saw that morning. Earthworms improve the quality of the soil, though, so that's good news. |

| More repotting, this time with Wang You, Vivian and Kate. |

| A huge rock that was in the way of the hole we were digging. Finally managed to get it out. |
Given the current speed of our progress, with a bit of work put in on Wednesday after our CmPS meeting we ought to be able to complete the repotting by next Thursday.
