It was a dry autumn day yesterday so we finally took all the Lobelia out of the raised beds and cut the roses back by a third to prevent wind rock. We’re kicking off fund raising for a new project to create raised beds around the Criffel Street borders. This will tidy up the edges and allow us to create a greater depth of soil to help the trees and shrubs flourish. If we raise enough money we hope to complete the project in late Spring/early Summer.

Thank you to everyone who came to our Quiz Night last Friday. We raised over £500 which will go towards a new project to create more raised beds in the Community Garden. We’d also like to thank the Cumberland Building Society, Carr’s Flour Mills and the Co-op who supported us with donations and prizes & our volunteers who baked some delicious cakes!

We were greeted by a misty autumnal scene this morning! We got on and replanted the two big raised beds with Winter flowering pansies & cleared and replanted the round border under the weeping Cherry with Polyanthus. We were pleased to welcome Georgina from the Co-op who gave us a hand with the planting & brought some delicious biscuits for us to enjoy with our tea & coffee.

Last week we changed another two raised beds to the winter bedding scheme! The front two beds are still looking good and they will get changed over in the next few weeks!

Another lovely sunny morning! The flowers in the raised beds are still looking great so we’re only emptying and replanting one bed at a time with the Winter bedding so we can enjoy their blooms for longer. The roses are also appreciating the warm, wet weather and are continuing to bloom.

Much to our surprise, we were expecting rain, Wednesday morning was lovely & sunny and warm! After yesterday’s delivery of compost we got all the tulip & hyacinth bulbs planted in the Port Sign bed and the raised bed at the back of the Community Garden and topped off with Polyanthus & Pansies. We then took advantage of the fine weather to enjoy a cuppa outside!

The volunteers have been out twice this week! On Tuesday we took delivery of two loads of compost. We’d like to thank Mathew and the Silloth Golf Club for their kind & very useful donation. We used the compost to fill the new raised bed under the Port Sign & the sensory bed at the back of the Community Garden.
