Barking up the Right Tree

1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in York.

This was my second visit to see Mr G so managed to cycle straight there without having to check in with google maps. Mr G had bought some more bark chippings ready to cover the rest of the area outside his flat. Mr G was saying that after my first visit, he got up the next day to discover the bulbs I had planted for him had been picked out. He believes it was a squirrel or a magpie. So we used the bark chipping bags to cover the troughs with the re-planted bulbs in until the soil had firmed up.

Mr G wanted me to pop back again in a fortnight time once he had purchased a bag of compost. Which I believe will finish the job for the winter. However.... His neighbour can not get out the flat so he will look to see if the Local Area Coordinator can make a referral.
