Gardening Session, Saturday, 30th January, 10.00-11.30
Weather permitting!

Compost Facilities Completed!
The weather was much better than forecast (it was only very cold with some sleet), so we were able to do a load of planting and weeding. We also managed to finish the path to the compost bins, thus completing the work on the composting facilities. Many thanks to the City of Edinburgh Council whose Waste Action Grant funded this project. Thanks too to Janet for coffee again, which helped revive us after a cold morning’s gardening.

Freshly weeded – don’t be fooled by the sunshine, it was freezing!

Our first snowdrop
The cold snap continued from last week. Seven of us braved the conditions yesterday, but only after some fortifying coffee supplied by Janet. Most of the borders were too frosty to dig but we managed some pruning, litter picking and some work on the path to the compost bins.
But there are a few signs of spring, and the view was terrific!

Our first snowdrop of 2015

Forecast is cold, fair and light winds. There’s plenty to do so please come along.
Snow, on a Wednesday?
Snow and a cold wind meant it was only coffee and cakes in the park this morning!
