Back at the the Three Pigeons Plot, five GoodGymers donned their gardening gloves for a couple of hours of flower bed fun.
Enjoying unexpected sunshine Nat, Harry and Anita from Richmond, Paul from Croydon and Jenni from Ealing completed a whole variety of tasks: - Weeding the base of the wall around the Three Pigeons apartments, Harry making a massve difference to the look of the area around the plot and along the Thames path. -Sweeping and collecting leaves. - General weeding of the π¦π¦π¦ bed. As the bed is a new venture, weβre not entirely sure what is welcome and what is not. Nat and Jenni did a great job concentrated on rooting out things that we could definitely identify as unwanted; such as borage, grass, dandelions and chick weed. As borage is a good plant for attracting wildlife (and has edible flowers that can be added to salads and Pimms) we have retained a swathe of Borage. - Moving plants from the central area of the bed and replanting them . Paul proved to be a master hole-digger, ensuring that the cystus and Liriope muscari that we moved should thrive in their new positions. - Discovering a couple of plants that we missed last week and giving them a hasty planting. - Finding a weeding tool that had been lost last week (hurrah) but unfortunately loosing it again (boo)
This is only the 4th task at the π¦π¦π¦ Three Pigeons Plot but weβve already made a big difference. By next summer we hope to have transformed it into a wonderful wildlife garden.
