Our March gardeners and visitors: Tony, Patrick & Meg with Woody, Ian, Tia & Jeremy with Jasper & Arden, Salvatore with Coco & Ravi, Fe with Luna & Fab, Dora, Maz, Peter J, Ruby & Alison.
A conscientious morning's work unfolded in sparkling March sunshine… general maintenance was the order of the day, with mowing and edging, compost turning and distributing, some weeding, some top dressing and seed scattering, some harvesting, some swapping, some watering, and of course lots of play, and catching up. The Albert St (library) garden has a real presence, an established physicality now, and is building to another depth… the stony, compacted, dry rubble and first hay-bale-bordered beds of the early days are hard to recall when standing amidst the rich, lush, many-layered garden of today… a random selection of pics from the morning:
