An Inspire Community Garden trustee spoke to the local Fire Station and asked for assistance to fill up the wildlife pond so I think all angles have been covered about getting water for the pond just in case the weather remains dry for some time.
It would be wonderful if we could complete the pond task and have all the final touches done of placing the wildlife plants and any water plants needed to encourage birds to the area.
There was a compost delivery for seeding, potting, tubs, baskets, landscaping and for sale.
Even although it's a "dreek" day there's still smiles all around.
This is the first bloom from the Clematis donation I gave to the Inspire Community Garden and long may it bloom and spread around the Composting Toilet.
(Oops! I think I need to do some weeding around the Clematis roots next time!)
Work still goes on in the Potting Shed
Plants are doing well growing in the poly tunnel and it's great to see the start of the Clementine and Peach fruit trees as they grow.
Clementine
Plum
The growth of the potatoes and the new foliage from the grape vine.
A new shelf was constructed in the double greenhouse.
The caterpillars keep to a routine constantly. They seem to change their home to the nearest nettle once they've lived and fed on the previous nettle. They seem to leave some little black dots or grit behind.
New shoots break through the soil.
I've never seen so many happy faces on a drab & dreek day!
There always time to stand and talk about the garden on a Wet, Wet, Wet, "Dreek Day!"
The wicker chair is still looking for the last wee "tweeks" to the sitting arrangement.
