Sarah shows us how to split our currant bushes.
We discover our first wild strawberry which we planted underneath our fruit trees last week.
Planting one of the currant bushes into the soil.
Sarah advised us to put up a string along our raspberry trench to help our our newly planted raspberry canes.
The students pushed four sturdy canes into the soil and attached some string onto each one.
We bought a Honeyberry plant to add to our fruit area of the garden. We discovered a piece of trellis behind the greenhouse which will help the new Honeyberry to climb up the side of the building.
Here is the site of our poly-tunnel. We are lucky enough to have enlisted some help from a local allotment association who are coming to have a look at the poly-tunnel kit and our site over the weekend.
The students also filled up a strawberry barrel this morning. They used compost to fill the barrel and put a old piece of gutter pipe down the middle to try to ensure that all the strawberry plants we plant will get enough water.
The Honeyberry plant is planted and has been given a good watering.
Onions are planted in one of the beds which we constructed a couple of years ago.
A bit of Enterprise. We try to make a bit of money for the garden by selling some of the produce to staff. We weighed the purple sprouting broccoli and put it into some clean re-cycled plastic containers, adding some labels and prices too.
We also added to the garden produce by baking some bread this morning. We gave a new recipe a go, tomato and asparagus foccacia bread.
All baked and ready for packaging.
Our basked of produce ready for sale.
