More pictures

Alan has done a great job of planting and mulching. Despite his declaration that he didn't want his picture took, I did anyway!!  Thanks Alan.

Our demarcation line for activity is from the down-pipe on the outer edge of the old hall to the matching one on the new hall and inside the easement near the fence.

Seeing someone sitting on the seat near the old hall inspired Min to offer us a round table and bench set. She says it needs painting and that there is an umbrella to go with it. Min's nephew died from meningococcal disease and was the original owner. She said he would have been delighted to see them used in the garden. 

Alan has been talking to the neighbour acoss the road who says he can't physically do anything much but would "keep an eye on things" for us.

So nice to think that a simple thing like gardening can bring people together.

PS about the fungi. The big brown one produced very little spore and a mass of beetles and grubs. The small one produced large amounts  in the same pattern as the gills, the spore being a "pointy pear" shape under 400X magnification. The delicate little lemony one produced a tiny smudge of yellow spore which was a bumpy oval shape.
