This is what I saw last night in Nelson about 8pm. We went out looking for the Red Moon that we were told was going to appear and no red moon, but this was like it was going to fall on us.
Cool......we are still alive.

Now to the Gardens:
Lots has been happening. We have had a great number of volunteers so the gardens are looking at their best. In the last 2 weeks it has been pretty cold and many almost frosty mornings. The days have been a mix of rain, sunshine, wind, calm, rain again and on it goes. We have got to like it and many of us stay out in it as it keeps us on our toes and feeling alive. I have to say I come home exhausted. A good rest gets me back there again.
EXPERIMENTAL BEDS:
Update
I'm not sure how they are going, they aren't looking the best, Well one is and one isn't. I know it must be the soil.
Both beds were tested and had the same nutrients put in them, but one is doing much better. I think one started off being better soil. So now the beds we haven't planted up we have added a lot more compost and broken down leaves and hopefully that will give the beds a better start and grow good plants like the one in our demonstration bed, well I'll give a bit more time, so keep watching.
