Oops! Forgot the daffs !


Sorry about that, forgot to add the photo of the daffodils, the grape hyacinths were good with them, and matched the car as well. Since then Ivan has returned to the digging, and other exciting events have also taken place. They will be reported in the next posting. Over the weekend Angie, Miranda and Penny did a bit of muck spreading, as the soil is very poor and dry and we need to get some goodness into it. So far a bag of farmyard manure has been dug in, we have 3 more to go and plenty of digging still to do. Pleased to report that Angie wasn't attacked by any worms.

A little bit of springtime

The bulbs were lovely, especially the tulips at the back. Lots of people noticed, and happily there was a lot less litter once the flowers started to bloom.
The daffodils were a lovely mixture, and Malcolm's hasty planting scheme was a great success.
Ita came over from St Mary's, the community garden where she does voluntary work. She sketched us a lovely little plan and made suggestions for planting. Some of the plants we can buy at St Mary's, it's a lovely scheme where adults with learning difficulties or who are HIV positive go to garden. It would be really nice to link up with them.
