A few months ago the volunteers were looking for a dry path to walk and a place to do a bit of weeding. Now, mid June, the vlounteers are planning to turn on the sprinklers next week ! 

After  a very warm day of weeding 

The results look great !

Very warm dry weather expected for another week !

After all that much needed rain the last week

we're enjoying warm Summer sunshine !

So are the hostas !

Now's the time to come visit while the flowers start to bloom !

You don't see it here, but the volunteers are trying to 

keep ahead of  that creeping woodsorrel,

 Oxalis corniculata, klaversuring

This colour lilac seems to be the popular colour this year

in clothing  !

Hosta ' Wu-la-la'
