I'll be around Liverpool for the holidays and I'm planning on doing a few things around town... maybe with a christmas theme? Would be funny to just buy a day ticket though and brighten up every station along the lines ;p x

   Smiley   Five volunteers Saturday... great... Smiley  ...two laurel bushes planted, pelargoniums, cineraria and begonias...a bit of weeding.        Zapped the Japanese Knotweed with a bit of gyphosate (against my religion, but how do you control it?   Undecided )               ...It's encroaching on our planting area!  Shocked Shocked

Have had two more 'sessions' of weeding since last entry here... the weeds aren't too bad because of the intensity of the planting, the cold weather and the poor soil!!     Grin     Again people are making very complimentary remarks about our efforts   Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley  ....aaahh, makes it all worthwhile...   Dave, our intrepid tree planter planted Jean's Birchtree and three pine trees, brilliant!  Smiley

We've had a great Summer of lovely flowers, kept going by all the rain! Lots of rail passengers have commented on our efforts and have said how the plants cheer their day. We are planting more daffodil bulbs tomorrow (planted first lot of daffs and narcissi about a month ago).... making sure that we get next year off to a good start  Smiley
