Getting in quick to post a whole day on its own!

Quick chore this morning, dropping off a print-out of my village resources info to a couple in isolation on my patch, and came across these gorgeous spring blossoms on the way (it was only about 100 yards away from where I live too!)

Then my next big gardening job - the piles of rubbish and grass formerly known as The Compost Heaps. Before...

...and after. I didn't have time to take the grass off the other pile, but I'm hoping to do that, and clear my veggie patch and add some compost from the "good" pile, tomorrow - because there's now an extra hour of daytime to do it in! *g* Okay, it's definitely a bodge job, cos I've never claimed to be any good with hammers and nails and wire and stuff, but hopefully it can be an actual compost heap rather than just a cool breeding ground for weeds, now. *g*

It's just so satisfying to see the difference!
Even from here. *ggg*

Go you, being all productive and helping out neighbours! We've run out of steam a bit, after that initial burst of energy getting the worst of the mess out of the shed, but maybe we'll get back into it later ... :-s

It's the village support group - so many people helping each other out! My patch is very quiet, which hopefully means they're very self-sufficient and doing well, but I can see in our group chat that others are so much busier helping people.

I think there is a vast difference! You can be proud of yourself! I wish it would stop raining for a few days here, so I could get back to the garden!

Thank you! It did feel quite satisfying, I have to say. Next step - get that compost onto the beds! But before that I need to weed the beds... *vbg*

Ack for rain! I mean, we want it to help things grow, but... at the right times... *vbg* Crossing fingers for you - especially cos you guys grow such cool stuff!

Looking good... kind of needs a few hens though. Not that I'm dropping hints at all... *g*

Ew, no hens - smelly creatures... I like them from a distance, and I like hearing them, but... nah. I'm not even that keen on eggs, so they really would be wasted on me... I like the idea of them though, and I like hearing about your dear old girls... *g* I miss hearing the rooster next door too, I wish he'd start crowing again...
