Perfect weather for planting and what are these fungi?

The heavy rain stopped just before 10 and we had a good morning replacing some summer bedding at the south end of the park with primulas and spring bulbs.  There are still a few roses and fungi are still thriving, these are on a cherry tree lower trunk?  Do you know what the are?

Dark, damp but productive

There was a heavy shower around 10, not good news.  But it soon dried although it remained dark and damp.  We helped Julie and her team plant the winter bedding (under Rocco’s supervision) and we cleaned out the bothies, ready for the Halloween Party on Saturday.  The Autumn leaves still look fabulous.

TCV at the Park again!

Super day at the park.  TCV came again to Starbank today.  They dug over empty bedding borders, spread compost, weeded and did a marvellous job again!  Many thanks to Tim and all his team for their help.  They have made a big difference.hard at work the end of the day The park was looking good in the sunshine, with loads of colour and a few toadstools.IMG_0917 1 late sunflower IMG_0973 1IMG_0952fuschiaanenome
