Today Tasha and I went to Mrs T's house to do sow some seeds and move around some furniture. Mrs T loves to garden, but sadly isn't able to do it as best as she used to due to a bad back.

We started by removing the hard gravel and some shards of glass before laying new compost in neat lines to plant the seeds.

We planted chives, thyme, rocket, lettuce, carrots, spring onions, wild garlic, radishes on one side of the newly earthed plot, and lots of beautiful wildflowers on the other side, before moving to the other side of the garden to plant some sunflowers.

As it was an extremely hot day we soon got a sweat on!

Once the seed-sowing was done, we moved to the front garden to get rid of some tough weeds before Mrs T invited us inside to move her sofa and dining room table around.

This mission marks Natasha's first ever good deed and first ever mission - amazing! She even came up with the pun, so is clearly going to get on well at GoodGym ;)

After the job was done we ran home for much needed cold showers before heading off for festivals and friend meets!
