Space Allocation

Maybe about a 1/4 of the yard?

Planning

We're going to meet on the 12th at the space warming party to see what mix of skills & commitment we've got.

On the window sill in the craft area near the laser cutter we've got:

  • Some sunflower seeds which are germinating atm
  • 2 x spider plants
  • 3 pots planted with fairly random seeds that Jasper had left over, some of: nasturtiums, large blue poppys, sweet pea's of a few kinds, mixed wildflowers. Most said "Plant by 2012" so I don't know how many will germinate, will probably need splitting up and planting out if they do germinate

Needed

Generally

  • BBQ
