Week 21 - General Photos

These photos were taken (by Bruce) at about 6pm before the class. Not everything is doing well, mainly because the conditions have been very dry lately, but some of the potatoes, peas and beans which were planted earlier in the season are doing well.

An overall photo of the garden looking towards the north, with the top end of beds 1-3 in the foreground. In the distance you can see the back wall and entrance of the garden which leads out onto the road and canal.

This photo is taken from the north-west corner of the garden looking back towards the terrace of houses. The garden is shaded by the trees in the neighboring garden - primarily to the east (left in the photo)- and especially by a 2 story mews house to the west, the shadow of which can be seen to the right of the photo.
A number of beds have not been dug and prepared yet. Beds 1, 2 and 3 will be planted with sweetcorn, squash (including courgettes) and climbing beans. Bed 4 will be planted with peas and dwarf beans. Bed 7 will be planted with swede and other winrter roots as well as some brassica transplants.
