Surrounded my towering sweetcorn, leafy raspberry canes, brightly coloured courgettes and many tomatoes plants heavy with fruit, we had an idyllic spot for our task last night.

Every month we head to Doddington, a former disused space on top of a car park, to help the volunteers maintain this thriving community garden. It's amazing how it changes every time!

We were delighted to have Charlotte join us for her very first session and Fi along for her first Wandsworth run - a huge welcome to you both!

After a very warm run down to th garden, we arrived to find some GGers already getting stuck into various jobs, and not to be outdone, we leaped into action. There was loads of topsoil to be transported and spread, deadheading to do, areas to be swept and herbs to be fed while Jordan did the rounds hydrating all the plants gasping for water in the warm weather. Not only that but Eva and Annabel got busy with a very complex design job making a teepee for some raspberries making an escape bid.

Enjoying the cool breeze we worked hard and soon it was time to call it a night - but not before fitness of course! There was the small matter of the 3 minute plank challenge to do first, a test of endurance which turned out to be closer to 4 minutes! Amazing job everybody.

Next Monday I'm away so it will be a community mission rather than a group run - same format but you have the choice to meet the group at the task, watch this space for more details as soon as they are confirmed!

There is also a great community mission helping to plant 3000 bulbs for the Battersea community festival on Saturday. It's a huge task so the more helping hands, the better!
