Again, lots of hard work in the last two weeks!
Our fabulous team of boys have shifted FIVE TONNES of topsoil into the raised beds!!
Despite the cold and wet weather, they have worked tirelessly to get more growing areas ready for planting.
The soil has a layer of gravel underneath to help with drainage as the ground is very wet.
We should be able to plant out our fruit bushes very soon...
The EAGer bunch transplanted the rhubarb from the old tyre...
...lifting the healthy plants carefully...
...and planting them into a more permanent position in one of the new raised beds.
In other news, we now have several "Boot Scrapers" dotted about the garden to help with our muddy footwear! Thanks to our volunteer Elizabeth for her handiwork here!
We also had more sand and gravel delivered in preparation of laying paths between the raised beds...
...and on a cheery note, the crocuses are now beginning to shine! Roll on the spring...
