Just a quick update for you guys.
Once again, many, many thanks for all your help and best wishes.
I apoplogise for not being around much, but have been unwell, and when I came back, there was soooo much to do - not enough hours in the day for evn the basic stuff!
Our project is slowly starting to take shape.
Will post some piccies in the near future.
After having to move sites, we have ended up on some plots which were previously used as the manure and compost heaps, which means the top 4 inches or so are beautiful, rich fertile soil. Unfortunately, beneath is nasty nasty clay! Yikes! We have been digging very hard, and have cleared ourselves a nice little area, in which I have planted several rhubarb crowns, some strawberries which we scavenged from a compost heap, radishes, onions and carrots. I have tonnes of plants growing in pots and troughs at our day centre, desperately needing to go out, but, unfortunately, I can't dig quick enough!!! lol.
We are slowly getting more and more service users interested, even if they can't immediately manage the heavy digging. There is plenty of weeding etc to be undertaken, as we have a rather serious bind weed problem, and it's strangling my d**n onions and my carrots! lol.
While it has been very slow progress up to this point, fraught with all kinds of problems, I am thrilled to announce, we are starting to make good progress, and am hoping things will only get better.
PS - We have so far unearthed the bones of approximately half a cow, complete with jaw and teeth, a small portion of pig (mostly teeth), and what I think is roughly a quarter of a sheep (although I guess this could also be pig). We are thinking of wiring them together and naming them as project pets!!!
