And finally for today I have 2 rather spectacular Cucumber plants that are now producing flowers and fruit - although they are not doing as well as the one in the school greenhouse. Still not bad though are they?

In amongst the tomatoes I have some sweet peppers and some red hot chilli peppers that I sing Callifornication to and they seem to be growing really well too

While some of the tomatoes have been left out in the cold to jealously gaze through the window at the nice warm indoor plants. Actually I do have a variety called Alicante which have been outside for about 3 weeks and look the healthiest of the lot.

I also have my first little tomatoes - Golden Sunrise.

The Veg Is Taking Over

Carrying on from my post of 3 weeks ago my Gardeners Delight tomatoes have now just about reached the top of the conservatory!

We have also decided to start the spurcroft gardening club in the new school year in September as there are only 7 weeks left of this year.  Two more teachers want their classes to plant their own veg as well so it looks like some momentum is growing now that everything is looking good and growing well in the plots.

Back to school and I decided to do some phantom gardening!  I have planted Mulberry classes plot outside their classroom.  I put in some dwarf french beans as a border with purple cabbage in the middle and some tomato plants and sunflowers at the back - also put a courgette in a pot, a few shallots and beetroot mixed in for fun.  Adam and I had the help of Amelia (on encouragement duty) and Lewis (on collecting and gathering duty) today and they are both with Adam in Mulberry class so that was nice to.
