Evening garden sessions

Jenny from

This evening, putting out the compost turned into an after-dinner garden wander - a weed to pull out here, a "volunteer" tomato seedling to pop in there - and I realized this is how it will be for the rest of the summer, just like every other year; the cool stillness of evening and gentle sounds of roosting birds keeps me outside till dusk.

For this shade-loving gardener, it has already become too hot for work in the afternoons except under or among big trees.

It occurred to me that there may be people who would like an evening garden ecology assessment, learning session or even their weeding done, when they are home and can collaborate or advise.
