"Spud-tacular Effort & Fig-tastic fun"

Yesterday we were back at the GoodGym Garden, a space we use to grow good things, boost biodiversity, and produce (hopefully) fruit and veg to donate to the community.

The potatoes planted last time were thriving and we had big plans to get the magic beans Jordan had brought along into the ground.

The fig tree was looking particularly healthy with plenty of new fruit. Not to be outdone, the gooseberry bush was also laden with tiny berries.

We worked hard planting, weeding, pruning and watering but were called to a halt as the heavens opened - so much for all that watering! Tools downed, we dashed for shelter and turned our gardening session into an indoor coffee-fueled debrief, which included watching out for the VE day flyover. Sadly, no jets were spotted outside but thanks to the BBC alert on our phones, we got a front-row seat to the action anyway.

Next week we return to Doddington for more community fun, followed by our monthly pub quiz. Fingers crossed for some questions on composting.
