Spring Cleaning! The new daffodils, (many of which were planted personally by Rory) are looking good, and next year should be even better. However it seems that many of the older ones are coming up 'blind'. It is essential that we don't cut them down too soon and it would also be beneficial if we were able to give them some tomato feed weekly over the next month!
It may be that I might not manage to organise the next Garden Party for this coming weekend. But I'm certainly going to try.
We need to carefully collect the fallen twigs and branches from around our bulbs and we can strim the 'Front Lawn; around the bulb clusters. The grass in front of the Oil Tank needs cutting and to that end all of the Power tools have had their batteries charged.
The side sweep of grass beside Observatory Road, which will become known as the Poppy Field when it (hopefully) performs next summer, has got some under-performing daffodils as well, which are also needing to be fed. The cut wave for the poppies is ready for it's next sowing and planting.
There are also some lurking leaves needing to be gathered in. Essentially the regime we put in place last year means that we only need to do some general tidying and not any major grass cutting as many of the wild meadow seeds should be starting to come through.
The big Flower Bed beside the Hall requires a good tidy at this time too. So here's hoping that the lovely weather we've been experiencing of late will still be with us next Saturday on the 31st March. A big day for KH, with the EarthSong Concert by Cathures in the evening, during which we join in with other iconic buildings worldwide, by switching off our lights.
