Summer 2016 at the organic garden !

Potatoes are ready ! 
Harvesting some of our potatoes


Planting out new flowers : To attract butterflies, bees and other insects!


Pea straw: We mulch our garden beds to keep moisture in and it helps keep weeds from growing

Room 15

Room 2 - They would like to develop this little space near their classroom - Watch this space ! 

our lettuces are growing well, we mulch the soil ( "blanket" to stop the water being evaporated by the sun )

yellow tomatoes ready to eat, and our cucumber is delicious ! 

A very hot day and the soil needed lots of water so the plants can drink it !

We weeded this area, turned the soil around to make it fluffy, planted some onion seeds and then watered it ! Grow ONIONS grow!!

Room 3 - Watering the flower/herb pots near their class that they look after! 
Lavender, Rosemary and Thyme! Smells really nice!
