The seed plantings of several weeks ago succumbed to the killer snails, and our enthusiasm for working bees dwindled after such an energetic start. Nevertheless, a few people have been pushing along and we will start promoting working bees again soon - so if you haven’t heard from us for a while you will soon.
In the meantime Dorothea found a tip that has kept the snails bay - snails hate pine needles. So a couple of weekends ago Enid and other hopeful planters armed with pine needles gathered by Karen, Charlie and Joe, sowed some more seed and at last - something GREEN is growing in our Garden!
John, Yassi and Mark planted a patch of zucchini and dwarf beans. Yesterday silver beet seedlings were also planted after a full morning of Mark mixing horse poo and Robyn and Lawrie carting soil to our now complete first raised bed. Soon we hope to have another couple of beds on site. Slowly but surely we are getting there.
Oh yeah - if your passing by you might be lucky to collect the last of this seasons mulberries!
