On the move

Bye Bye to Villiers Street. We hope the tenants of the houses to be built there sometimes find a vagrant plant popping up to remind them that for a brief while it was a great garden. The new place at 31a Church Street has a lovely atmosphere, the soil is good and loamy, water is on tap from tanks and mains - garden heaven!!   We made "crop circles" on the lawn marking out a large open bed, a more formal parterre circle with paths and the "no-man's land" where the sewer main runs. Aussie native plants for the birds will screen the galv fence as they grow and spread. Annie has some tiny  paw-paw which won't be tiny by Summer. Lime, tamarillo, passion fruit, the Bay tree and citrus have been relocated from Villiers Street already. Moving the tanks was a tip and shove onto Russell's ute, much easier than we thought it would be. 
Annie and Julia had a short sharp shopping burst. The Newcastle City Council seed grant has been lingering but is pretty well spent now.  Louise Duff  from NCC will be invited to come and see our new spot, as will Judy and Scott Sharpe who have been so kind to us. 
Saturdays at 10 am will be the regular working bees.
