A night bulb moment

Who knew planting bulbs was such hard work?!

Palmeira & Adelaide Garden fund (PAG) recruited us to plant a 25kg bag of daffodil bulbs (approx 700) and selected a sloping, grassy bank for us to plant them. The first task was loosening the ground with forks, then digging out a 15cm trench, then packing in the bulbs ensuring they are all the right way up and then covering them back up, firming the ground to keep the squirrels from digging them up! It sounds easy but working on a slope with ground that hadn’t been disturbed for decades was tough going! Well it certainly looked that way, I was just holding the lights!

We managed to plant about half the bag and I am very much looking forward to seeing the fruits of our labour in the spring.

Task complete we all headed off to the seafront for a fitness session, well all apart from David who left early to celebrate his birthday (before I remembered to ask him if he wanted to write the run report!) Happy Brithday for tomorrow David and enjoy your week off from report writing!) My favourite exercise from the fitness session was the quick pivot catch which I got from this guy on insta who is very creative at coming up with new ways of moving. We used our gardening gloves and well done to Nancy who took a while to get the hang of it but once she got it was on a roll with 5 in a row. Can you beat it?!
