Nov2 by Sandra

We had a lot of fun picking up leaves for compost and planting onions, garlic, mustard spinach (komatsuna) and peas. We also tried new labels made from slates.

Helping wildlife in our spaces

Oct10 by Sandra

We planted a mix of wildflowers for bees and birds on the Edible Roundabout. They are now almost dried but we keep them – birds like them and they will reseed for next year.
