Anyway, what does it all mean? Well, with the shed due today, it was time for a mad rush to complete the shed base. This involved all hands to the pumps which was fortunate because a large number of volunteers had turned out again.
Eventually, the base was finished and the shed in place. A new fence, shed base and now shed in 5 hours a week over 6 weeks. Great effort from all the volunteers.
Further progress was made on the seed planting. Peas, leeks, parsnips, lettuce and beetroot all sown and letting mother nature take her course. Swathes of grass around the orchard have been moved and the ground prepared ready for the RHS Britain in Bloom 2012. Everybody is looking forward to seeing the flowers in full bloom as well as the pollinators that will help our crops.
So that we comply with H&S regulations we've put up a small fence around the large pond and also covered the frog spawn with netting to prevent the local duck population eating it.
As well as the blue and great tits around the site a woodpecker has been heard close by. It would certainly be a pleasure watching at work as we carry throughout the spring.
More to come next week when the compost bin area will be nearing completion.
See you next week for more.
