the vegetable garden

Hello! I am here, just been a bit busy. How are you? Good I hope. We've had sunshine and I've been so happy for it. I'm off for a walk in it after this. I've just been wanting to show you the vegetable garden that is right outside the school, have a look at a view from above here if you like. It's all organic and the main part is kept by the two gardeners, but the students have their own plots too, learning about gardening in a special compulsory class called Care for the Earth. They can grow whatever they like, be it vegetables, flowers, grass or all strawberries, as long as they take care of it. Oh, or tadpoles, because one of the plots is all pond. The garden has two greenhouses, an orchard (you've seen the apples already), a strawberry patch, raspberry shrubs and rows and rows of vegetables like lettuce, beetroot, broccoli, broad beans, parsnips and leeks.

I like the rainbow chard.

And the spinach.

The greenhouses have sweetcorn, peppermint, sweet basil

and runnerbeans

cucumbers (they're so sweet! So hard to eat shop-bought ones after that)

tomatoes

of all shapes and sizes

and chillies. Though I never have any of those. Do you?

I hope you are well and enjoying yourself, maybe having some summer fruit?

Wow, that's quite the garden. I have to settle for going to the farmer's markets for now. It's too hot & humid here right now for walks and outdoor photos :-( I also wanted to thank you for listing my blog on your sidebar!

Thanks Angie! Wow, farmer's markets don't sound bad at all! I wish I could go to one more often. And yes, I don't blame you for not going out in the heat! Thank you for listing me first, that's really sweet of you!
