At the All Saints Church Garden today, Ami and I were tasked with weeding each with our own patch. Mel found some Lemon verbena and wild garlic plus a large bush with flowers and a beautiful scent, but no-one knew the name unfortunately. The tomato plants put in last week are thriving and in the last week onions, peppers, strawberries have also been planted. Ami after some weeding helped to put in some flowers, and Mel struggled to get some of the more established weeds out, managing to bend one of the forks! But succeeded n the end. There is still a lot of weeding and planting out to do. With two huge trees giving plenty of shade and protection from any sun or rain, it's a very tranquil and peaceful place to be.
