stir crazy

Following an unexpected weekend in Hospital with a poorly Sammy, I managed to escape to my last College day ever, think I'm now qualified (!) and Neil had been in with a recovering Sammy all day and was going crackers. He popped up to water the plot and be free for an hour.

Things are looking great and it seems from the pictures Neil took, that someone has kindly mown the grass and left two pots of Courgette or similar on the ground for us! I cut the grass with shears last week but it def. looks like it has been cut again. Thank you mystery helper!
The beets are a gorgeous colour with a streak of deep red across the leaves and the Raspberries are lush looking. An odd Jerusalem Artichoke is poking up amongst the potatoes, a stray left over from last year.

It looks wonderful and myself and a recovering Sammy are going up tomorrow to plant an apple tree that I purchased from my lovely Horticulture teacher Stan, today, my last day at Lackham. I shall miss you Lackham, a sad day indeed. My Lecturer Carl did say I could take the boys in the holidays to show them the grounds and the Tropical House so I might just do that. Sammy wanted to grow apples and the tree will be a constant reminder of my wonderful year of RHS.
