Many willing hands have been preening the garden in readiness for spring. The water trough is clean, the polytunnel got a wash and there has been some tidying up everywhere.... Jerusalem artichokes were harvested, seeds are starting to be sown and all the compost bins are empty - their contents enriching the soil.
Our solitary bee home produced 52 cocoons that look healthy so they are now safe in a black pot - which has a hole in the side so when they hatch they will see the light and leave through it. The bee tunnels are all scrubbed clean and ready for next year's visitors.
We were given two varieties of seed potatoes and Charlotte ordered 20 pink fir ones. More herbs and flowers are on the list. Remember our horsetail problems? We were reminded of this video of its dancing spores...
Thanks to this 'feared' weed, we have our brilliant space! We are welcoming monetary and donations in kind, please contact us if you can help!
