Looking for outdoor social activity ?

Try a morning with the team weeding at Het Gazebo !
Weeding, slug and snail control, hosta care 
There's coffee and tea and always something sweet !
You are welcome on Wednesday mornings but not September 4th.
The volunteers are away.
Today was waaaarm ! Luckily there is the shady option  ! 
Suprised by the sight of snail eggs, the volunteers are
 getting a head start for next year by getting rid of them now !
See, there's always something to be attended to !

Summer's not over yet !

 After yesterdays downpours, it was a cooler start to the weeding day !
But soon it warmed up to 21 C ! It's still August ! Even though 
 some hostas are showing signs of seasonal change 
Some are looking great 
such as Hosta 'Wu-la-la'  !
And others are in bloom, casting their shadows!
Shadow art ! What do you see ?
At first glance I saw a scorpion !
What's in the bag ? 
It could be Oxalis corniculata
I had to smile seeing 
" potential to become a nuisance" 
Seeds and spreads rapidly on paths, walls, waste and cultivated ground. May have the potential to become a nuisance in lawns, beds and borders, containers and greenhouses if not well managed

Dit kruipende plantje voelt zich op z’n gemak op zonnige plekken tussen tegels en muren, en is nogal hardnekkig. Je herkent het aan het paarse of groene klaverachtige blad, met gele bloemetjes. De plant verspreidt zich door middel van de stengels, die wortel schieten, en door zaad. Je verwijdert deze plant door te schoffelen, handmatig te wieden (wel alle delen weghalen!) of te bedekken met mulch.

Het Gazebo hostas connecting people !


Today was a great day to get together in Diepenheim ! 
A group of volunteers and guests got together and enoyed 
sharing stories, experiences and future plans at Het Gazebo.
We enjoyed chatting with Theresa and Guche and learning just a bit
about what it was like to get Het Gazebo planned and organinsed !
There's so much more to hear :)
