Rachel, Roberta and Sheila went to help out at Nature's Haven on a lovely sunny day. Everything is loving this weather, and growing so fast! The plants destined for the RHS show are all growing too big for their pots, so today's task was to re-pot them all into larger containers, alongside other volunteers . Many hands make light work, and a few bags of compost later, we had potted all the plants on. After some tea and cake to celebrate Trish's birthday, the potted plants were moved round to the storage area out of the strongest sun and given a good water. There was just enough time to tie up the wigwam of bamboo canes and plant some runner beans.
