Our peas are creeping up the netting and seem to need weaving in and out every few days.
It was a hot day today so we needed to move the sprinkler to give our trees and wildflowers a bit of a water.
Pumpkin patch - we knew that we would not be able to get everything done in the garden extension this year, so we decided to plant the excess pumpkins on a pile of soil that we have not yet managed to shift - hopefully they will take root and climb all over the soil?
Our vine has been moved inside the poly-tunnel, we still have to work out where we should plant it.
This is one of our Aubergine plants, we were pleased to notice some flowers appearing today.
Some of the chili plants are also beginning to flower.
This chili plant already has some chilies growing on it.
This is a melon plant which we planted last week, it has already started to creep along the soil and has sent out some flowers.
Bush tomato plants in hanging baskets - lots of flowers on there at the moment.
Broad beans growing outside in an old tire.
The first cornflower to come out in our raised bed.
Mizuna growing in the greenhouse.
We were able to sell a few things from the greenhouse today, a bit of a mixed salad bag with some Mizuna and spinach plus a bunch of chives and sage. Our hens are laying quite well at the moment, although if the good weather continues we will have to look to putting some shade in the hen run.
Some lovely poppies growing around school.
Last year we made some Elderflower Cordial which has rather an unusual taste but the students liked it, so we decided to repeat the recipe this year. This afternoon we went out and picked some Elderflower heads, we are lucky as our school field has lots of trees around the edge, including Elder.
We needed about 20 Elderflower heads for the recipe, which need to be left in a syrup of sugar and water, with some lemon rind and juice for 24 hours.
