Two new garden beds constructed

At was all systems “Go” at our working bee this Saturday. Thanks to all of those who helped plant seeds and seedlings, weed and move what seemed like endless  wheelbarrow loads of horse poo and sand to fill our two new, water-wise “Wiki beds”.  Special thanks to Leigh at Newcastle Jockey Club who have been generous in donating “top-shelf” garden manure from his “fastest horses”. Thanks also Leigh for offering to load our trailers with your tractor - I reckon you took a couple of hours off the job and probably added a couple of years to our life expectancy!  In the next couple of weeks the Wiki beds will have settled enough for us to plant some autumn/ winter crops. Also the mural wall has been patch rendered and sealed in preparation for mural painting...so watch this space.
