On a chilly Saturday morning we met Marian at the back of the cornerhouse where a few tons of soil & compost were waiting. The nearby bed had been neglected a bit, but plans are afoot to spruce it up for the spring. some plants had been removed, something big cut back and even the bushes over the top of the wall were under control, although Marian hinted at a possible future GG task to cut those back further.

Straightforward task of filling & leveling the bed with soil, adding some compost at the end.... Marian had to go somewhere, so the workout commenced, fueled by coffee and a sausage roll. Soon after, Dharmesh arrived to help out, having paced at the Mile End parkrun take-over. Together the bed was filled, raked flat & swept up before midday. Job done!

P.S... Marian sent her thanks after coming back later in the day and noticing we got more done than she expected!
