Report written by Ben Foster
Despite the stormy weather and circulating thunder โ๏ธ, Peter and Ben rolled up their sleeves for a strenuous weeding session at Gorse Hill Studios ๐ฑ
Along with Rachel, Cathy, and Duncan from the Studios, we were tasked with removing as much ivy and weeds as possible from the border. It was no small task and with the thunderous background, we set to work with loppers choppers, saw, and secateurs โ๏ธ
We unearthed a lot of roots, rubbish ๐ tennis balls ๐ฅ and a broom end (we initially thought it was a hedgehog ๐ฆ). We freed the planted bushes and a rose bush and left the area in a much better state than we found it. Meanwhile, the compost pile is now huge and Rachel measured out the pond area.
Well hydrated with a cup of tea, we also blitzed some weeding at the allotment, watered the polytunnel plants ๐ชด, and planted cucumber ๐ฅ and more squash ๐ in the garden. Job well done all round ๐ ๐ช
