Today we made some Comfrey Tea, which is a natural fertiliser plant feed which we will use in the garden for the rest of the season. Some of the Comfrey was carefully cut down, avoiding all the bees.
The leaves where put into a large barrel.
Water is added, and the mixture is left for a few weeks - the resulting mixture is good for the plants, but is very smelly!
Some of our onions drying off.
We spotted a water-lily just starting to come out in our pond. We also gave the pond a bit of a clean today, some green stringy stuff was growing in among all the lilies and was starting to take over. We scooped it out with a net and disposed of it.
The cucumber patch, which have grown so much in a week they are starting to cover up our sign.
A courgette plant in the poly-tunnel.
Butternut squash plants - we have never grown these before, so we are wondering what the flowers look like?
Our vine planted at the end of the poly-tunnel, it has been tied up to the supports so that it should start to climb up the roof?
Sunflowers growing up the fence - these are the special RHS anniversary Sunflowers.
Strawberries ripening in our strawberry crate - they were picked this morning and eaten by the students at lunchtime.
Radishes are now through the soil, and Celariac has been planted out. We are really pleased that we got some to germinate this year - last year we planted some and nothing at all came?
Digging over the cauliflower bed as something has eaten all the young cauliflower plants, despite being covered by netting? We will plant something else in this bed instead.
Our wildflower bed is just about to burst into flower, we have cornflowers, sweetpeas, marigolds, and lots of poppies so far.
