Despite a visit from some vandals overnight.. Sunday was another beautiful day at the Yoorala St Community Garden.
It was Vege POD Working Bee time, and after a little cleaning up we got on with Harvesting, re-Planting and Mulching the main communal vegetable garden area.
As most people will tell you, there is nothing like fresh potatoes just out of the ground
All tidied up, mulched and looking healthy. – Thanks everyone.
See you next week :)
