We’d a great turn out for a winter’s day. We’ve now cleared almost all the leaves from the grass, the Christmas tree was looking good (before the gale!) and there is still a remarkable amount of colour, including fuchsias and a very confused lupin. Bad news was that squirrels have been gorging themselves on tulip bulbs planted in pots. We should have known! We’ve rescued quite a lot and we hope the gluttonous squirrels don’t learn to open the cold frame!
There’s a gardening session on Wednesday, usual time. There’s loads to do, and, for what it’s worth, the Met office says the weather will be pretty good. Please come along if you can.
A fairly miserable morning but we had a good turn out. There’s a wreath-making class in the bothy on Saturday so it was all hands to the deck to clear everything out. We were surprised at just how much stuff we have. We also managed some bulb planting and leaf-raking, before the rain came back on.
Empty and cleaning up
Some of what came out!
There will be a gardening Session on Wednesday, usual time 10-11.30. The forecast is 11C (!) and it is drying up during the morning, so please come along if you can.
There’s a gardening session on Saturday, 10-11.30. The weather forecast looks mediocre at best, but it’s only a forecast! There’s still plenty to do so please come along if the weather’s half decent.
Lots done on a lovely winter morning. Even more leaves have been raked (still plenty to fall!), we’ve topped up the planting at the star and loads of bulbs have been planted in pots. Special thanks to Louisa and Erica from Quintiles for their help.
There’s a gardening session on Wednesday. The forecast is for sunshine all morning and it’s not too cold! There’s plenty to do and we’ll have a couple of helpers from Quintiles too. Please come if you can.
Saturday Gardening session is on at the usual time. There’s lots to do and the forecast is sunny but cold. Please come along if you can.
The rain stopped just after 10 for over an hour before a proper deluge but eight of us got loads done in the dry spell, planting out various flowers, bushes and bulbs, spreading compost and loading the cold frame with overwintering geraniums. We unfortunately disturbed some mice in the compost bins. 
The Saturday gardening session is on, the forecast is fair so please come along.
