We are now seven months and one week into our community garden project and we are well and truly ready to start gardening!!! The weather seems to be warming - well it did and then it snowed again!






Clearing the site was necessary to remove the potentially toxic chemicals donated by the fly-tipping and burning. Removing the first foot and a bit of soil meant a temporary dip in the biodiversity of the site - a thing we hope to rectify in the near future (if you're the now homeless field mouse we're sorry and we hope your new accommodations are working out for you).

We've made lots of progress we've cleared the site (thanks Frank); we've fixed the western boundary stone wall (Thanks Premier Waste, Thompson's and Harle's); we've had the northern wall erected (thanks Parish Council); we've had the eastern fence erected (thanks Frank and Premier Waste) - but so far the site still has no plants on it expect the one remaining hawthorn tree from the ancient hedge line standing sentinel in the north west corner of the plot becrowned with sparrows and dunnocks.
