13th June - Flowers and Fruit

Our poly-tunnel is now full of plants, we have been working hard over the last few weeks to get the seedlings planted in the new raised beds.  We have the paving still to finish and then some benches to construct in the middle.  We also have to work out some sort of watering system to make it easy to come into school and care for the garden over the summer holidays - any suggestions?

A young melon plant beginning to creep and send out flowers.

We found this lovely flower, in our summer bulb box - not sure what it is?

The sweet peas we planted around the willow dome have finally taken off and are growing up the side of the walls - hopefully we will see some flowers before we break up.

One of the bog plants we planted a few weeks ago.

A tiny courgette starting to grow in our raised beds outside.

We found a 'froglet'!

The bees are buzzing around our comfrey and the wildflower bed.  Hopefully next year we will have organised a bee-hive to be sited on the school grounds.

Another wildflower we found today.

Globe artichokes in the herb bed.

One of the poppies has just come out today.
