Monday Mash-up (Garden)

 For the last 4 weeks me and lots of other people there with me at the garden. At the start Nigel explained what we have to do. After Nigel had finished telling us what we could and couldn't do. We started planting the plants in the plastic bag for the Eco-action people to come and pick them up to plant in the red zone. What we did to plant them in the little plastic bag was: 1st we put the potting mix in the black plastic bag, 2nd we dug a tiny hole in the potting mix, 3rd we put the little plant and covered the tiny hole to make sure the the  plant was secure at the base stem so it would stand up straight, 4th we would put the weed mat over top of the potting mix so the weeds would not grow that big, Finally we put some stones over top of the weed mat so the wind could not blow off the weed mat. It is really nice going over to the garden in the morning because we could hear some birds singing in the winter breeze in the tree tops. These are some photos of the garden ( even there is no leaves on the trees it is still nice )
