Pre-holiday update
catherine June 26th, 2009
The holidays are nearly here! Our raised beds still haven’t arrived, and we are awaiting the results of a grant application which might enable us to buy compost and topsoil to put in them. The mushroom seats which we will be able to buy with the Rotary Club grant will go at the end of the wildlife border so this will stay as it is until these arrive as they will probably have to be concreted in - we can then plant things round them and get this end of the border looking really great. If we are successful with other grant applications we have made, we will be able to buy some ferns and other plants.
Although it sometimes doesn’t seem as if there’s been much progress as we wait for funds and materials, things are moving slowly on. Two Catherines dug out the old pond liner as it had been filled with rubble and pretty much collapsed. It was a very smelly job…. Now a new liner can go in, and then perhaps we will have frogs again. The pumpkin plants that Mrs William’s class grew are doing well, despite the best efforts of a fox to dig one of them up last night! The broken window on the greenhouse has been fixed with the help of a donation of perspex from freecycle, and the felt is going on shortly.
