6 Goodgymmers met at the community allotment for our regular Friday evening session. Sue, our taskowner, had sent through some specific tasks for us, so we set straight to work. Roberta and Angela dug up all the tomatoes which have succumbed to blight, bagged them up and disposed of them in the general waste. Sheila and Angela then covered the beds with membrane to see them over the winter. Scarlett and Matthew took down any beans that had stopped producing, leaving the roots in the soil to continue their nitrogen-fixing activity. The bean plants at the end of the row were left in place as they still had young beans developing. Sol started to trim some of the long grass around the shed and the edges of the beds. When we had finished our tasks, someone asked what we should do next, as we still had some time left. Quick as a flash, Sol came out with 'Find Your Own Enjoyment!' So we did! Some of us weeded and others trimmed the long hedge, as far as we could reach anyway. All whilst having a good chit chat. Another productive and enjoyable session


This task supported

The Maidenhead Community Allotment is run by a group of volunteers, who grow food to share with local residents, the users of the Boyn Grove Community and Resource Centre and Maidenhead Foodshare. They work with Men in Sheds, who are based on the same site. Men in Sheds is an initiative to combat loneliness by providing a space for men to connect and chat over practical tasks.
