In spite of the rather average sumer .... the yard now looks particularly green and generally even more verdant than when I photographer everything back in May. Well, that nature for you, innit! 

Volunteers have obviously put in the hours here. The objective, not just to grow food for the Sumac itself ..... but also to provide a positive example on what can be achieved in quite modest urban surroundings.
