Working Party

There are times when work on the actual plot has to be put on hold for the work on the site for the good of the community. Today we were working on fixing up one of the central pathways across the site. It took a couple of hours to get through it but with everybody helping we soon managed to clear out the old carpet and weeds and laid down a nice thick pathway of woodchips.

Once we managed to fight our way through, we ended up with a pretty decent path.

The Workers then stopped for tea (and brownies courtesy of Sue) and posed for photos.

The workers (left to right): Hiroe (aka The Wife), Pippa, Greg, Brian, Julie, Jasper, Simon, Michelle, Abby with Yours Truly taking the photo.

The whole thing probably took a shade under three hours (including tea and snacks). It's one of the benefits of everybody pulling together. Many hand make light work as the saying goes.


Once we all disbanded then we could face some work on our own plots. For my part I planted out Beetroot and Purple Carrots, into what we're calling the Purple Bed. The Wife potted on some of her beloved Cape Gooseberries. After that it started spitting with rain, so while we packed up and sheltered in the greenhouse we had a visit from the local Vixen.

We've been told that she has two cubs but we've yet to see them. Unfortunately it seems like we've lost Ben as we haven't seen him for a few months now. Now we have to choose a name for this little lass.

Back to the plot tomorrow as I have Shop Duty, and there is still much to do.
