Yes, at least three, or so it might appear in Richmond.
Winter gardening and an unexpected 'fishing trip' at the Three Pigeons Plot and The Arcade in Buccleuch Gardens, Richmond with Kerry, Jack, Sam, JP and Anita.
We started from the Tap Tavern with an easy 2km run to the Three Pigeons Plot led by Sam.
'Catch of the Day' consisted of 2 bicycles and a bike frame, silted and ghostly, revealed at low tide in the Thames next to The Three Pigeons Plot and hauled out by our intrepid GG team.
As well as retrieving (stolen?) property , it was also a really successful evening's gardening:
Lifting and splitting some of the more established Liriope Muscari at The Three Pigeons to create new stands in places where there are gaps.
Planting a Winter Savoury, a compact Marjoram and a Thyme* in the 'Gin Garden' herb corner of The Three Pigeons.
Planting 1 x Canary Palm, 3 x Sarcoccoca Confusa , 4 x Woodruff* and 3 x Creeping lemon Thyme* in and around The Arcade Rockery .
Sweeping up masses of leaves from on and around the Arcade Lawn and 'magic-carpeting' them away to our compost heap on an old trampoline mat.
'Planting sticks' to try and deter people from walking across the flower beds, particularly important with all the bulbs we planted in December and with today's additions
