Balsall Heath Jungle Gardens in February

OUR GARDENS IN FEBRUARY

We have prepared the ground to plant a row of fruit trees against a fence at Jakeman School. Soft fruit bushes will grow beside these.
Jakeman School now has a trench of raspberry plants in the play area, accessible to the children. We are growing onions, garlic, chard and beans already in this area.
At Tindal School we have planted garlic and broad beans and forced some early rhubarb by putting a bucket over the emerging shoots
With the help of volunteers we have started planting tubs at 100 Mary St with cabbage, spring onions, garlic and spinach. Our container-grown leek and carrot crops have been good this year.
The broad beans planted in November are growing well!
Our winter pruning work is now complete and we have even worked as a team at renovating an old cooking apple tree in a member�s garden.
