Up and running

This is our new path/hardstanding, which has been made very wide at the composting site (so people can drive in, drop their compostable material, then do a U-turn and leave) and about 4m wide along the rest. It's one of the last of our 'big' jobs to get the site up and running. We have yet to get the water connected permanently, which will be done - we hope - shortly. We are on mains water at the moment, but this is an 'informal' arrangement with the farmer whose field we are using, and since permission has recently been granted to build some affordable housing, which will go right over our pipe, we have to have a more permanent arrangement. We also intend to start a Community Garden in front of our containers.
In the meantime, with the warm weather, everything is growing and we must water! The apples that I put in have all got lots of blossom, but (as expected) my grafts failed to take on the two rootstocks. No matter, I will try again!
