Anyone for Mulberry Pie?

The Mulberry Tree is ripening so why not come along and pick some Mulberries to make your own Mulberry pie or design your own Mulberry wine!   Why let the birds have all the fun when your kids will look great with purpled hands and smiles. This Saturday 17 September  9.00 -12md we are having another working bee including the mulberry picking.  Other fun things to do include planting some seedlings, give us your ideas on the garden layout.

Working Bee #2 Sat 10th September

What a great day of activity with about a dozen gardeners turning out on a rather cool but sunny morning. Cath was seen busy there early in the morning while the rest of us emerged around 9.30 after leisurely starts to the day. The main achievements were a substantial reduction in the Mulberry tree trimmings which now have been transformed into promising piles of compost and thanks to Mr Mulcher machine a good lot of fresh mulch. John and Tim put together the beginnings of above ground bed #1 in lightening speed. Various visitors, young and old did taste testings of the mulberries.
