The poplar and willow replant has continued.

The majority of the vegetable beds in front of the plant nursery have been dug over with manure and reshaped into bays in preparation of planting them up, below left. I have planted some more flower seedlings and some of the previously planted seedlings are beginning to come through, which is jolly exciting. There’s sunflower, English marigold and a few as yet un-identified species.

Many of the residences are preparing their flower beds in advance of the garden competition. It is great to see that many are looking really very neat.
