Spring is on its way

Spring is on its way in the Good Neighbours garden…….

Here are some of the group enjoying the spring like sunshine on the last day of February – Paulette, Bernard, Geraldine and Tony

We had ordered the three replacement panes of strengthened glass and John came to put those in. That, together with the 6 panes that we had put back the previous week meant that the greenhouse was now back to  its complete self. Let’s just hope we don’t get gales like the ones we had in January again soon

We always make time to have a cup of tea and a biscuit

Peter who had been one of the first volunteers in the garden has recently moved to Preston, but on his visit to Manchester he came down to see how the garden was going and was very impressed

At the side of the garden, behind the church is a narrow passageway

At the far end it widens out and we thought that maybe we could plant some fruit bushes that can take it being a bit shady (though as you can see it does get some sun)Here is Tony spraying the weeds to clear the ground before we try to find out how best to enrich the soil and plant some bushes
