Great morning at the park, sunny, warm and no wind! Spring is bursting forth with lots more daffodils out, a magnificent show of primulas and the witch hazels adding colour too. We’ve dug over the east border and it’s looking good.
There has been a lot of damage to the star this winter and we are blocking up the gaps in the terrace hedge to reduce the animal traffic through the hedge, down to the star. We hope it makes a difference.
The forecast is good and there’s lots to do so please come along and give us a hand.
A cold and windy but dry morning, we stopped just before the rain started. Tidying was again the order of the day. At least the park is looking pretty good.
I spotted a fern, with spores, growing on the south wall.

Spotted this morning in the Newhaven Heritage boat planter.
All of a sudden, we’ve had a glorious spring morning. Where did that come from? More tidying in the park and it’s really looking good.
The snow is melting fast and the forecast is unbroken sunshine. Please come if you can.
I gave a talk on the Park at Wardie Church Guild on Wednesday. Everyone was very nice and Justin set up the projector, avoiding my blushes! I therefore had a day off gardening but the Friends and Julie more than made up for my absence by getting loads done in the east border.
The park is looking good. The daffodils are shooting up and there’s plenty colour. We even had a visit from a pheasant on Friday.
If you look hard, you can see the pheasant
