OK so it was not exactly Mediterranean temperatures but we were treated to some warm sunshine today as we helped Growing Communities lift 35kg of potatoes from the beds we had helped dig over earlier in the year.

Some beds had been overtaken a little by dock leaves so some of the spuds were a little harder to find than others! Nonetheless this was a satisfying task and by midday we had them dug ready for sorting, washing, weighing and shipping off to the Meltham Food Bank and Marsden Co-op.

Leaving the site with a gifted share of fork damaged seconds plus some other tasty surplus veg made this task rewarding in more ways than one!
