theWI Adderbury & District WI – My Facebook Gardening Posts – 5th December 2016 – Wild Flowers everywhere

Posted by on Dec 5, 2016 in Reflections

Dear  members,

 

After my leaf raking at KHH I popped round to inspect our wild flower beds at Adderbury Lakes where all was peacefully tidy with just one ox-eye daisy plant and a few red night shade berries still in view. The extended area dug over by Bernice during the November Lakes work party meet still looked good, ready to be sown up next Spring…..what a delicious thought xxx

Dear Members, Last Thursday morning at KHH it was still time for leaf raking and gathering-in from our WI GWS bed and I managed to half-fill one of those enormous garden bags which made it impossible for me to take to the leaf-mould store. Luckily two fellow volunteer gardening friends came along in the nick of time, dragging then emptying my leaves into the store. But then, gardening friends are helpfully kind, aren’t they. ! I’m sure more leaves will be down for another gather-in next week and then our beds will have to look after themselves until after my visit to Australia. xxx

I’m afraid I missed the Lakes working party meet on Saturday, 3rd December – just too busy with other matters – and I shall also miss Jan’s meet but come Feb. 2017, weather permitting, I shall meet up with my fellow volunteers at Adderbury Lakes for more clearance or clear-up xxx
