At least two of the regular Stationeers are away at the moment but we still mustered six volunteers this morning despite drizzling rain. After picking up bucket loads of rubbish and bottles and doing a little light weeding, the station embankment is looking much better. Thanks, Thomas, Ed, Marina, Ian and Roger.
From the number of germinating weeds we pulled out today, we will need to concentrate on weeding plus some planting at the next working bee when the poplars have dropped all their leaves, exposing a few areas at the top. Anywhere that weeds germinate is suitable for selected ground covers- plants that don't mind total shade in summer but will out compete winter germinating weeds. We could relocate plants from under the station if needs be. meanwhile, I will do some propagating.

A lovely flower, so nice to have something flowering in winter.
