Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Bianca Jakubowski
Having been introduced to Goodgym missions last weekend, Ms G warmly welcomed another pair of runners into her Garden on Saturday.
Bianca had already helped Ms G with her raised beds last weekend and this week's new addition to her garden came in the form of Rodney. According to Ms G Rodney looked very energetic and strong and was promptly given the task of turning over some rock hard soil in the back of the garden in order to be able to plant some sunflower and marigold seeds.
Bianca started in the front of the garden doing pretty much the same thing (despite obviously not looking quite as strong) as well as pulling out some deep roots from some unknown weeds.
The most time consuming task for both runners seemed to have been picking out the numerous shards of bottle glass that were all over the place.
Once the main tasks were done, Rodney sowed sunflower, marigold and pumpkin seeds and both runners were off to collect some compost from the nearby church (as already mentioned last week, this was completely legal).
After just over 2 hours Bianca had to rush off to meet some sofa delivery people (and of course for the first time in the history of delivery companies they were 10 mins early!) and Rodney kindly stayed for a bit to help Ms G tidy up.
Overall, another successful mission and Ms G was yet again a happy woman!
