Once again an intrepid group of gardeners attacked parts of Burhill playing field in early September.\u00a0 The pots around the statue were re-planted, and the area was covered with bark and ivy (which we hope will take!) and still looks well cared for.\u00a0 For those who know the site, the bed around the tree is yet again covered in weeds.\u00a0 This time we decided to spray with weed-killer and wait until we can pull up the dead weeds easily.\u00a0 We will then re-soil, re-compost and re-plant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We were encouraged during the morning with Danish pastries (many thanks Dorothy and Denis!) and amused (again many thanks Dorothy) by the burglar alarm going off.\u00a0 The only person who took any notice was a young police woman who was in the area attending another call, who insisted on taking Dorothy\u2019s details (don\u2019t ask!!).\u00a0\u00a0 The new deputy head did arrive some time after and we were able to introduce ourselves.<\/p>\n
I go into the school every week, and have undertaken to make sure the pots and trees are watered weekly (or is that weakly?) in the hope that we have more success this season.\u00a0 Thanks to all who attended, especially those who provided plants and sustenance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
