Merri Murnong Weeding

Hi all,

For those who love the mindfullness of easing then gently pulling onion grass so that it comes out whole, here's your chance for this year before it disappears for summer. 

Any amount of help wholeheartedly appreciated.

The map attached shows where there is many of them (mostly small ones) in a semi circle below the one grevillea we have at the Merri Murnong Patch. Feel free to go and explore, screw driver in hand while spotting the many lilies.

The photo shows how older specimen are now sending out extra leaves and floral stem to produce seeds. The flowers are pink, flower one day only in the middle of a sunny day. This can make them easy to spot ... and wildflowers are also likely to open up too. Double treat.

The other main weed independent weeders could tackle is chickweed. Most is dying off quickly now so it is important to remove as much as possible before the seeds drops. Some are still green and flowering and can also of course be targeted.

For those who prefer company, 2 upcoming options:

- Starting fortnightly Thursday 2-3 pm, weather permitting. Tomorrow is the first one and the weather is forecasted to just brilliant. 

Next 4/10, 18/10, 1/11 to hopefully have things all lovely by our 10th Murnong Gathering on the 11th of November.

- School term break. Combination of no study nor work for me is the right time for bloomingly fantastic weeding sessions at the Merri Murnong Patch. I will head there many times until 8/10 at various times of the week or WE. Either take your chance or drop me an email pascalelocal@hotmail.com to see if we can find a common time.

Yes, children are welcome. They can help or do some bush play.

Hope to catch up with some of you.

Pascale.
