Back At Last

Due to the vaguaries of Internet Service Provision it has been impossible to update the blog recently. However, we are back on line and regular updates can now be made again.

Over recent weeks the plot outside the Fruit and Veg. Shop has been widely planted with the addition of French Lavender, Sage and various other herbs kindly donated by the shop's owners. the previous planting is doing well, with Marigolds, Nasturtiums, Sage and Chives all thriving and coming into bloom. The walkway has still to be completed once we can get some slabs. We are also looking at the possibly of information boards about the plants to further engender public interest.

Our regular Friday session gave way to a Wednesday evening and we had an extra volunteer, Mary O'Connor, to help dig the larger plot near the road. This is now about one-third dug.

We could really use some extra help with the project. Just two hours a week will really help to improve this one small area that has been neglected for ages. There is great pleasure to be gained from achieving change, new friends to be made and, possibly more important, part of Midleton is given "a make-over".
