Great turn out for our first evening work party of the season. All this rain has made the garden lush... well not for beans and other plants that need the sun!!
Lots of weeding and editing was done in all the communal areas - and it was nice that the weather cooperated - a lovely evening. We have become accustomed to tasty treats from our local Capers at our work parties. This is provided through their Community Chest program - and they did not disappoint. A lovely tray of organic fruit and sandwiches was our evening snack. Oh, a big highlight of the night was the take down of the existing compost bins. Let's face it, they were never really very functional but I did have a little pang in my heart as they did give us some lovely compost over the years - and they were nice and big to throw all our green material into! Can't wait to see the new system installed that will give us our important element of compost for the garden.

A snap from today... (can you tell by the grey sky?!) a busy little bee (perched on the bottom blossom) on the Borago officinalis - better known as borage. Did you know that this plant is edible and medicinal? The leaves can be eaten raw or sauteed... and the flowers look gorgeous in a salad. And lord knows we have a lot of salad with all this rain. Oh yeah - enjoy the rain over the next few days.
