It was good to see over a dozen willing volunteers turn out for the bulb planting activity in the village. With 300 daffodil bulbs to plant (100 each for Main Street, Wellhead Lane and Potterhanworth Road) kindly donated by Paul and Anne Clarke (Nocton Ltd), this was a very welcome labour force, keeping the numbers of bulbs to be planted by each individual to a manageable level.
Not so welcome though, was the hard seam of limestone that was only three or four inches below surface that met every spade when attempting to plant the bulbs. The loan of a JCB would have been useful!
It will be nice to see the display each Spring when these bulbs sprout forth, waving their yellow heads in greeting as people enter the village.
A big 'thanks' to all those who volunteered their time this morning.

Hi Geoff
ReplyDeleteGreat work everyone. Can I use some of these pics for the Parish Mag. Sorry I couldn't be there had to be in school for a year 11 revision session.

Thanks for asking Chris - not all the photos are mine I'm afraid, so cannot give permission for the Main St and Potterhanworth Rd items. However, you're very welcome to use the Wellhead Lane images.
