Another productive couple of hours in the garden at St Michael's church on a beautiful spring morning. This time we had two more helpers with us, Calim and Helen. The main focus was de-weeding at the front of the property, and we all regrouped with Manda at the end to enjoy some of her homemade lemonade (as seen in the pics).

Today I dug three chunky holes so Manda could realise her vision of some more inventive planting methods. Once each circular hole was dug, chicken wire fencing was MacGyvered into place. It means specific plants can be planted and grow up the fencing - Manda is confident it will look great! We also started to plant some beetroot and courgette seeds in fresh soil.

Another productive week! Initially we removed some more weeds, then focused on tidying up a large pile of branches and twigs - cutting larger branches and re-stacking them. The end result was more space available to grow fruit and vegetables.

Back to the garden at St Michael's Church and it's sunny for the third week in a row(!). We must be doing something right.

Good progress was made, and the soil is looking more and more ready for growing season. The attached photos show before and after, with much of the weeds now removed.
