The change in season comes with changes in every garden, and the recent odd showers have soaked into the soil showing me lines or contours of the land with which it is time to dance.
Shahn has been working on her catalog, and putting out plants at the market with my tisanes and teas. Here are some images… please feel free to contact us.
Kyla got together a few of the rugby guys to assist in bagging and moving mulch and soil – they are a hardworking bunch 
thank you guys and gal.
Some people came in with Doug Edgar and chopped down the hedge and ivy, he usually works on making roads with SA Grassing cc, and can be contacted on 083 300 3004 or doug.edgar@tiscali.co.za The team has done a wonderful job of creating mulch piles for me to use in the garden. Unfortunately the result has negatives and positives… removing so much of the hedge has exposed the garden a bit more to the smog from the road, and wind. That is the downside. On the upside, Pirates has a plan to upgrade that fence and this is part of rehabilitating that stretch of land. I am also creating a planting and harvesting cycle with all this material… I have started a small potting area in the meantime;-) Also, on the upside, the garden seems to flourish on its own, all I am adding is a few coffee grains at irregular intervals. And to top it off I was donated two wheelbarrows, loads of pots, loads of amber soil from Vuma , and mulch of wood chip and leaves from the hedge. I am in deep gratitude for these items and am making progress with them on hand this week again THANK YOU
This is actually the part where gardening becomes a dance for me, where I have an idea but its not structured it changes as I apply it step right and left hover forward and back on your haunches on your knees… turn around You see?
I am looking forward to planting up two bags of cuttings in the morning too, which I will use as a means to prevent soil from washing down and creating more of a slope. These have been donated by Ingrid of the Jozi Real Food Market at Pirates Sports Club. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
