Another weekend at Stargarallot, and the mission - to build the new fruit cage, aptly named 'Tutti Frutti'. Before we could even think of putting it together we had to fight with the packaging, so much plastic!
Free at LAST
Now all of the pieces were free of packaging we could check them, and yes it's the thing everyone dreads - there was a piece missing. Not to be stopped, we continued with what we did have. The instructions took some deciphering, as can be seen in the confused looks in our photos.
We managed to put the top of the cage together, but ran into further problems when looking at the ground - two areas for the poles were too solid to put into. Only one thing left to do, put in another task next week to dig deep and make enough space for the poles for the cage.
So we tidied the remaining parts back away and called it a day.
Stargarallot Community Garden was created in 2018 by local residents as a community garden network covering the STAR area of Cardiff.
