F-Troop - Monday 2nd June 2008
















A lot of our best intentions were washed out today however the troopers did achieve some good work before the rain set in. Clearing drains to direct the excess water in the right direction , dismanteling an old shed that was too old to repair, trimming of trees to allow sunshine onto grassed areas, put up the staghorn (donated by Duncan Dyer) for me on the 2nd which was very helpful, repairing & adding to the watering system at the putting practice green gardens. I am happy to say that the hydranga cuttings are looking happy at the moment.
I spent some time adding to the shade garden on the second - some more "wild violets" along the edge; planted out some donated Kangaroo Paws and some native trees on the 6th native garden that were donated to us by Ross Drakeford. All of Ross' plants are gradually finding a home - it is a case of one step at a time. The native garden on the 6th is my next target.
