Bulb planting season is here!

We have yet again been blessed by the weather and on our task day today, concentrated on planting bulbs - it's the best time to do it. We are grateful for a large free supply from the Council and we added some ourselves. We've planted around the beds and in an area where the frog will be relocated. We've also put some in next to the Covid memorial and along the entrance path off Station Road. All should come up at varying times in spring; we've planted tulips, narcissus, muscari and crocus so there's a good selection of colour.

There were other maintenance jobs to do including cutting back and tidying the beds - always weeding to do too. We also did some edging round the paths. We added some soil to the previous holes in the football pitch and will eventually seed these. Then some surprises happen - we had to mend one of the wheelbarrows but managed that with a nut from Hollins of Marple!
