Week 4

On Tuesday, 15th of October, our horticulture class did more work on the garden. This week we did more work with bulbs, we used;

Hyacinthus:

Grown from a bulbs, the      

Hyacinth plant can sprout 

many different colours, 

the most common colour 

is a baby blue.

Onion Sets:

Onions are for culinary 

use, cooked or raw. They 

contain a certain chemical 

substance which can 

irritate the eyes.

Amaryllis:

This bulb is usually pink

or purple in colour, they 

mainly need a dry or a little 

wet weather condition. They

 don't grow well in tropical 

or frozen conditions.

We planted these bulbs in the area where we removed the old Japanese Flowers, we planted them in a circle, inside the circle of the pansies. We also did weeding, cleaned the area around the plants, watered all the plants and re-tossed the soil to mix nutrients.
