Thursday, 16th October, and we've finally been able to get around to planting on the paddock above Cambridge RDA (Riding for the Disabled.) They don't use it any more, as the land is positively soggy, and the Council asked us to plant it rather than have their mower struggle to mow it and get stuck in the process. It's late for planting, but we're relying on the copious water supply to keep the plants in good health over the summer.

We'll continue planting even though it's late in the year. The plentiful water supply will keep the plants healthy over summer and the Cambridge RDA paddock will look a picture as walkers come past it on the track from Payne Park to Te Awa path along the riverbank.
