The Community Garden was looking great today with all of the tulips out. The bees were already enjoying the first few cornflowers and we planted some more cornflowers, sunflowers and honesty plants along the beds for them to enjoy later in the year. We also planted parsnips, leeks, fennel and lettuces straight into the beds and runner beans, french beans and courgettes into pots. The broad beans and radishes were already coming up from last months planting. We also tidied up some of the beds and trimmed around the edges. At the end we took some of the pots home to care for on windowsills and under glass ready to plant out later in the spring.

The easter clothes swap was very busy so luckily there were four of us this month to support the regular volunteers.

Everyone worked hard to ensure the new clothes made it out onto the rails and everything remained tidy. The task flew by and there was just time to pose with some easter eggs before we headed off to enjoy the bank holiday weekend.
