Next meeting

Yesterday we realised that next Sunday is the High Vibes Festival in High St Northcote, so we have postponed the next Committee meeting until the following Sunday 30th September.

We also managed to get quite a few more indigenous plants into the ground, and notably put in two more eucalypts behind the basketball hoop, ...hopefully there'll be a lovely stand of trees there in the future. We also put in a few more shrubs around the seat near the front gate, with hopes of turning that area into a bit of a showcase for our local indigenous plants.

On the vege front, many of us are thinking hard about what will survive in the coming months, especially with Stage 4 water restrictions looming large. Things such as beans, zucchinis and pumpkins may be able to withstand less watering than things like tomatoes and corn, but it's hard to predict what the situation will be. A water tank is becoming more and more imperative for the survival of our vege plots and everyone's input into how to secure a tank will be greatly appreciated.

Great Shots...Feels about 30 miles further up the Yarra Valley....Can you include some of the local wallabies in the next shots or perhaps a crowd favourite.....the badger......do we still have those...or have they all gone the way of the Darebin tiger....

Cheers

Just heard that next week is International Weedbusters week.......or day or something of that nature.... The good news is that means there are more than 4 of us existing outside the walls.......
I've always lived with the feeling that being a weeder makes one a little strange,possibly even a traveller from another galaxy shunned by the local human population....... We could try contact of some sort but would more than 4 weeders together be deemed a little dangerous for the common good.... Safer to remain anonymous
