Good weather for a day of gardening at Honey Market Lane. We arrived around 10.30ish at CERES Environment Park and searched for the location of the garden. Then, we looked for the illusive Steve, who runs the garden and it's many tasks + workers/volunteers. :)

While waiting, I helped out with washing the lettuce for Market Day (tomorrow, Wednesday) while he started weeding some of the beds. Groups of loud school children flooded in tasting soil, doing their quizzes and just having some fun wandering and exploring.
Then I helped with weeding nut grass too! Very stubborn kind of grass with deep and interconnected roots. With the help of the fork and some muddy fingers, we got most of them out! And on the way found some other lovelies - worms, slaters and other colourful bugs I am unsure of what they're called.

We managed to weed 3 beds by the time the rain arrived. Next week ... planting basil! Fun!
