Bean planting

Today we met Julie from Towan Cross Nursery who was involved in setting up the primary school garden next door. She happily gave advice on plants and gardening. We have decided now to weed the garden rather than apply herbicide and would like any volunteers to come forward next wednesday (even if you only have an hour to spare) to get it cleared ready for the turf.

There will be a bring and buy plants sale and donation box left outside the preschool every wednesday for people to purchase plants to raise more funds. Some of these plants may be used for the pre school garden itself. Add a bit of your own garden if you like and see the preschool garden grow.

Suzie brought a willow planter which we planted up with broad beans lettuce and viola flowers (to garnish and eat in salads).

Jobs pending runner beans to be put in willow planter (nb add compost).

As soon as the manhole covers are secured we will be able to get the kids out to use the area.
