Saturday 31st March
The second work party of the 2012 season followed on from the hedge planting the previous weekend. The first two hours were spent watering all the saplings planted a week ago. We then started preparation for sowing more wild flower meadow at the eastern end: trimming the ground where it was hummocky and raking the soil that has been exposed to the frost over the winter to create a fine tilth. All we need now is more showery weather in which to sow the seed.
