26th March - A visit to Plantsworld

Sarah from the RHS had arranged for us to visit Plantsworld in Gosforth to do a bit of planting.

Our students helped to plant some bean seeds.

And also had a good look around the glasshouse to see if there were any ideas we could borrow when we put up our poly-tunnel later this year.  We got some great ideas and hints about how to put the poly-tunnel up and what to put inside.

Plantsworld also had some baby chicks which we enjoyed looking at.


We bought a couple of globe artichoke plants to add to our herb bed, hopefully they will grow into large healthy plants.


Tulips are coming up in our flower bed.


I think these may be some Narcissus?

We planted some broccoli plants at the end of the summer last year - we have been waiting and waiting to see if anything was actually going to grow, finally we noticed that some purple sprouting broccoli was starting to appear.

Potatoes planted inside tyres.

Some signs of seeds sprouting in our wildflower bed.
