It was our weekly visit to the community allotment, and we had a bountiful number of GoodGymers attending. Anita and Rachael got straight to work at the water butts, with Anita demonstrating her double watering can technique. Nicola and Sheila, armed with secateurs, set to pruning the tomato plants , trimming off any flowers which will not have time to develop into fruit by the end of the summer, and removing any leaves which were shielding the tomatoes from ripening in the sun. We made sure the water butts were all full before we left. Special thanks to Nicola for the inspired report title!


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.
