Helping out at the Milk Parlour

Brian and I headed up to help with the dahlia tubers around 1pm .  We met Marilyn, Brian , Moeen and I think Heather. They were there already trimming and seperating the tubers.   It was extremely windy and seeing as the weather seems to always be worse at PTG than in the city we dressed for it.  Getting out of the car we had to hold the doors so they didn't blow off.  It is always cooler up here too so we brought a warm jacket/coat and wore appropriate footwear.  For our task today we needed gloves and a pair of secateurs.  The parlour is fairly dusty so its always adviseable to not wear anything too nice.

While working away we found out that several people helped out Thursday and  volunteers also managed to get the Wedding garden cleaned up including getting the grasses cut back.

Already a good start to the season.
