I spent a warm and sunny couple of hours with the lovely Tasnim from Grow Together E17, who is developing a community plot at Higham Hill Allotments. We did much hoeing and ground levelling, in preparation for the installation of a fabulous new greenhouse. A satisfying task, in lovely company (we definitely set the world to rights!) and - bonus of all bonuses - I was asked to "help out" by taking home the gorgeous purple sprouting broccoli that had grown so beautifully and was just ready to harvest! Never one to look a gift vegetable in the mouth, I gladly accepted. A fabulous project to get involved in, with lovely people on a beautiful sunny day, and gift veggies into the bargain - what's not to love?

James the only one to attend to the mission, came by bike (rider), and he met with the project organiser, and lead to the allotment area. Then we borrowed 2 hoes from a neighboring allotment lot. And got to work on removing the grass from the area, compared to last week we were a lot quicker. It helps having the right tools for the job. The good news is it didn't rain although it was a little chilly, but the work got us warned up nicely.
