We have harvested the first flowers from the site from my lovely 'Wiltshire Ripple' sweet peas ... having sat in 'loo roll pots' for months they have burst into flower now they are finally in the ground.

Work continues on the site despite soaring summer temperatures and this weekend will be a busy one for planting again:

The 4th & 5th of July the site will be open 10 - 5 again for both Saturday and Sunday planting sessions on the final beds. Karen, Chris and I will all be there on Saturday and FOAG will be over seeing the planting on Sunday, with Chris joining in the afternoon.

As from next week the site will be open 3 times a week for the garden club sessions at the following times:

Free Garden Club Sessions (June - Nov 2009)
Saturdays 10.00 am - 2.00 pm
Tuesdays 10.00 - 1.00 pm
Thursdays 5.00 pm - dusk

These sessions run right through the summer but once FOAG have an official site lease from the council the site will also be open each day for people to enjoy, we anticipate this starting in August.

Many thanks to everyone who has helped out so far.
