We had a decent contingent today, with stalwarts Lisa, Margaret, Sarah and Energy Garden's Anna joined by me and recent volunteer Dylan helping out. While I set up impromptu trellis for the tomato plants, which are doing super well, folk got down to harvesting the lavender a good 3-4 weeks earlier than usual but as with much else, we have to realize that this, heat and drought, are the new normal. Speaking of that, after the gardening, we sat down to planning for different planting that should be more drought resistant and heat friendly that we will undertake in the autumn. We still want to keep it aesthetically pleasing for the garden to continue to be a balm and respite for the weary commuters, who again as always, gave us many thanks.
