HORTICULTURE WEEK 2

In the second week of horticulture we moved on the the flower beds surrounding the outside of the courtyard.once again we had to weed the flower beds before planting anything, forks cultivators and trowels were once again used to remove the weeds. a rake had to be used to remove the top loose layer of soil covering the weeds.we planted plants that once again appealed to the sens of smell with more lavender plants, but also this time using grasses we appealed to the sense of sound with the grass blowing in the wind.

The plants were mainly small in size so where planted in neat groups of the same type of plant. each plants was about six inches apart.we worked in pairs one digging the other applying the compost. 
major difficulties were encountered when weeding as the top layer of soil hid most of the weeds so rakes had to be used to remove this layer

we dug one big hole using spades about the depth of one plant for each type of plant. then the plants were placed in the whole about a fingers with apart.
continuing with the garden appealing to the senses, this week the plants appealed to the sense of smell. and the grasses blowing in the wind appealed to the sense of sound.other plants we planted were thyme witch once again appealed to the sense of smell   
 
we then covered them with compost and refiled the hole.  then we watered them and continued weeding until all the weeds had been removed.
