Today Dave, Judy and Mel were helping plant roses. The last of several beds ready for early spring to Autumn flowering. To aid them in growing, we first dipped the roots into a thick fungal and water solution and then into a deep hole to cover the roots. There was a pattern to the planting, leaving room for a couple of larger rose bushes in the centre of the beds. The area will look lovely once they are all in bloom, revealing all the different colours. After sweeping and tidying up the pathway, we went for a hot drink in Cafe in the Park.
