Another season beckons! As we work very much with the seasons our tasks will change too as we go into March, and this week sees the start of this change.
We were kept busy though with lots to do. Grow Gurnard goes from strength to strength, each time we return new features have been installed and hedge and fruit trees planted. This occasion was extra special as the 'Coat of Hopes' made an appearance as part of it's tour of the Country. A source of optimism it gets added to with new patches, indeed ours was added, adding to the stories of communities and people of the UK.
Our session was about hope too, as the group hope to grow lots in their new vegetable beds. We helped create some more, using the no dig method, on what is very stony ground, with cardboard, woodchip and well rotted manure. That'll get the worms active eh!
Other parties of GGers were to be found edging the pond in the Old School Meadow. This had been formerly a mould for fibreglass boats so was devoid of life but now covered with hessian to encourage mosses, and plants in general on these pond margins. Light pruning of hedges and bramble along with soaking up some of the sun's rays... we were very lucky with the weather.
