In the lower garden we have been planting seedlings (rocket, beans and lettuce), weeding and mulching (which means spreading organic matter on the top to reduce weed growth and stop the soil drying out).
We've also been assembling new steel beds. It was quite fiddly, especially getting the plastic rim on the top. You can find the beds in the upper garden above the Heritage cafe. Once they had been lined, our next job was filling them with soil. This was not straightforward given that some of the wheel barrows have flat tyres. We had to mix the soil 10:20 soil to mulch as this is the right balance for growing food.
We also drank some lemon grass tea - our first opportunity to taste something from our own garden!
