11th June - Flowers in the Garden and a few Strawberries

Today we have been planting out the last of our plug plants which we received from entering into Cultivation Street.

Here is a barrel which was planted up by the students a few weeks ago, the flowers are all starting to come out now and look very nice outside the EPICC unit.

One of our courgette plants is starting to produce some flowers - so maybe we will see some courgettes before we break up for the school holidays?

We were given some plants to add to our bog garden, some Hostas, and a variety of other plants which we can't remember the names of!

We did a bit of weeding in and around the orchard area and discovered some ripening strawberries.

A marigold inside one of our raised beds.

Some flowers inside our flower bed - we have planted a variety of different kinds of flower, so hopefully it will begin to look really colourful in the next few weeks.

We are not really sure what this purple flower is?

We received 12 small rosemary plants and have added them to our herb bed.

One of our window boxes, planted up with fuchsias, petunias and maybe some marigolds?

Some fantastic looking poppies waiting to flower.

We have also been very busy making sure that everything is watered - on a hot day like today, the poly-tunnel needs to be watered twice a day.
