New hostas planted !

This week at Het Gazebo !

There's a lot of work going into restoring the original absract leaf design plan that is Het Gazebo ! A selection of new hostas arrived and were sorted, aranged and planted in their new borders by the volunteers. It's the perfect time to plant hostas. The weather's warming up, it's still rather wet and quite mild for this time of year. The bright greens sure are looking good !  
 

Het Gazebo on the first day of Spring ! 18 C

The Spring Equinox 

But nature is showing signs of being 5 weeks ahead !

Everywhere you look around it's bursting in colour !

The early hostas at Het Gazebo can't wait any more !

They are up and growing !  

Snails are out but they didn't do much damage yet ! 

With the warm weather the volunteers had a great morning

 Hoeing

is a fundamental agricultural practice

that involves the disruption of the soil surface

to manage weeds and enhance soil aeration

 

 

Spring time's busy at Het Gazaebo

Het Gazebo is growing !

One advantage of having a rather warm and wet start to the year means this newly planted red beech hedge has a great chance taking root ! There are more sightings of hosta shoots and fresh hosta leaves ! The volunteers have raked, gathered and removed all the fallen leaves and branches ! It was dry enough to have coffee at the dedicated picnic table that's there to welcome visitors this coming tourist / vacation season :) Things will grow quickly ! 

After a very foggy, code yellow, start to the day,the sun came out and it warmed up from 4 C to 11 C ! Spring is in the air ! The days are getting longer ! As you can see the pavement has been completed and the ground work is ready for a red beech hedge. The volunteers spent their morning raking leaves while finding the Spring geen of the first hostas.
