Totally Tuber-lower

Saturdays have got HUGE! Over 30 people on today's group run to Bramble farm including half of Goodgym Bath :-) Great to see you Bath peeps today - we love our nearest GG neighbours!

With such a big group it was a good thing that Dave stepped up to help lead one half - and it was fun on the way over trying to guess which route he was taking and see who got there first. Kudos to my half for sterling efforts on Victoria park hill!

Once there, Chris and Kim were ready with lots of brill tasks. The farm is run entirely by a small group of families so we were able to supply lots of manual labour, digging out some strawberry beds, digging in cardboard to create some potato beds and lots of weeding and compost spreading.

There was a bit of a debate over the best way to plant a potato but everyone was in agreement that they should be positioned 'eyes up'.

Some also felt that the clay based soil was a little hard to turn - but hey, what great strength work! And great to see Kim and Adeline demonstrate proper double-digging :-)

All that photographing of cats, ducks, goats and the odd Goodgym'er was hungry work and I expect the digging was a bit too so it was great to see cake and biscuits appear to fuel us on our way home - and it's always nice to see Matt happy.

Great work everyone!
