2012 Start of the Season!

Thanks to all the members who came to the first work party of the season - 'Manure March' - and today which felt like the true start to the 2012 gardening season. The daffodils and tulips are in bloom and our pea & radish plantings are just peaking through the soil. Although the sun was reluctant to come out today in full force, it was a lovely day of weeding and getting the colossal job done of sorting out the compost. One has to admit this weather makes the weeds come out like butter!! Anticipation is high that after the compost clean-up has been done, that our members will diligently chop up any greens to be added to the bins - so that our compost worms and friends will be able to do their jobs and create a good supply of compost for the impending summer. Here are a few great pictures from the March and April work parties - thanks to the co-ordinators for both parties!!
