Moving mountains (in rain, sun & hail).

Today we had our first work day of the year at the community garden. There was a mountain of topsoil which has now shrunk significantly & been relocated to more useful areas; and some weeding was completed.
And, on a side note, our new telescope has been installed at the top of the hill.

Starting to dig:

We had 4 LDS (Mormon) missionaries hard at work helping to move the mountain:

And even a teenager helping rake the seating mound by the fire pit:

More soil moving - filling raised bed 6: 

Levelling bed 6:

We were grateful for the missionaries' strength!

Relocated log seating:

And then it hailed, & we kept working! 

A good few hours of work :) 
Many thanks to all who came, & especially to Elders Barney, de Vries, Platt & Erickson. 
Next work day is April 25th, 11-1pm. Everyone is welcome - and it's not just strenuous soil-moving tasks; we have all types of jobs needing to be completed.
