Springtime Update

Many thanks to Elke for this information on the new growing season.

After the wonderful Prince’s Trust people helped us so much to tidy up the garden and built us some wooden planters and a fence in November/December 2015, it had been a fairly quiet few months at the Community Centre garden. I had been in to do a litter pick at some point, but we continue with further improvements.

Here is a link from Dudley News on the work done by the Prince’s Trust people: http://www.dudleynews.co.uk/news/14134282.Students_dig_deep_for_community_project/)

Sam Bedford and I resumed activities on the 12 April. We used up the bulbs that had started to sprout in the cupboard and planted those in the big planter in order to bring a bit of colour into the garden.

We also put different herb seeds into the small planter in the hope the weather wouldn’t take another turn for wintery conditions.

Next things on the list will be to find out about the progress with another soil delivery and more litter picks. We also have to find out how we can use the “Grow Wild” kits I had received more recently.
