One Week to go to The Open Day and Table Top Sale

 

The daffodils are looking splendid if somewhat wind blown. Will they still be flowering in a weeks time, hope so. They really do make an impressive show at the entrance to Plot 46 for Special Needs Children.

 

Is Mac really helping to sort items for the table top sale or just gazing at himself in the antique mirror? Inside the shed out of sight, sorting and categorising is Ann, whilst in the foreground is Norah lugging around a circular table with folding legs. Somehow or other everything will be ready for Saturday 9th and the plot can be handed over to it's new tenants.

Some Finishing (?) Touches To the Disabled Youngsters' Plot

Described as finishing touches, the fruit trees have been planted along the path-side of the plot. Knowing Mac though, there will be something else that has to be tinkered with. Daffodils around the plot are now about six inches high and weeding is now under way as it is now possible to see where the daffodils are coming up and not damage emerging shoots with the hoe.

Disabled Youngsters Plot

The works continue, and further thanks are due to Adrian Smith of 659 taxis donated £200 worth of plants, Dave Holmes of Mitchell Landscapes of Malton donated time, timber and plants, Jason Martin from Martin's Skip Hire kindly donated another ...load of top soil, Jason Brown tree surgeon provided shredded bark mulch and both Vertigrow and Dean's Garden Centres donated cash which was used to purchase plants.
