With all the hot, dry weather we have been having lately, Maidenhead Community Allotment was feeling very thirsty, so Anita, Gillian and Sheila went along to give it a big drink. Anita manned the hose, whilst Gillian and Sheila set to with watering cans. Everything was in need of water, but the crops are also thriving - particularly the tomatoes, which are rampant and the fruits are beginning to turn colour. We also emptied a large trug bed of some spent herbs, which ended up on the compost heap. Once the watering had been finished, all the water butts were topped up in case of a hosepipe ban. Whilst waiting for these to fill, we swept the patio and weeded around the edges of the raised beds. Great job, everyone. See you next week!
