I Ain't Saying She's a Cold Digger

Wednesday 26th November

Written by Laura

Tonight we had a dark, muddy run along the ridge to head to Meanwood Valley Farm for the last time this year.

We faced the cold and rain at the farm whilst weeding, hoeing, digging and moving compost.

We got loads done in 50 minutes & Andy at the farm rewarded us with some kale, garlic, apples, fennel and more!

We've loved our tasks at the farm this year and will be back for more in 2026.

Great work everyone!

A Full moon, Fertiliser, Flowerpots & Fireworks

Wednesday 5th November

Written by Laura

Tonight we ran across the ridge, admiring the fireworks & the full moon along the way.

We headed to Meanwood Valley Farm where half the group got to work cleaning out plant pots and the floor in the green house whereas the rest of us did our usual job of turning the compost. It was a muddy & smelly job but Helen hosed us all down at the end.

It was nice to meet Andreia & Sarah-Jane for the first time. Welcome to GoodGym Leeds.

Terminating Tomatoes

Wednesday 15th October

Written by Helen Noyes

We ran to and from HEART to Meanwood Valley Farm making the most of the twilight before our Wednesday evening GoodGym tasks will be done in the dark. Christian brought along Andrea who has promised to bring us all Pastel de Natas next time! Mike met us at the farm and split us into 3 groups to work on the maturing compost heaps; 'terminating' the flower beds; and tackling the tomatoes in the (poly) tunnels. We managed to say hello to the alpacas in the dusk who we learned are brothers who have loud arguments and upset the neighbours! We heard them bickering later! We, however all got on famously, as usual!

The Big Hoe Down Festival

Wednesday 24th September

Written by Laura

Tonight me & my eyebrows met the gang at Heart & had a run down to Meanwood Valley Farm.

We had a big hoe down, weeding the polytunnels and the outside beds. Freddie used a very cool contraption which is called a weed snatcher! We also laid some compost & had a general tidy up.

The run back was quite dark...I think head torches are now needed sadly!

Well done to Shannen on her 50th good deed tonight :) You're a superstar!

A big welcome to Analise & Angela, we hope to see you again soon. It was also nice to see Emily again after a long break.

Getting Piggy with it!

Wednesday 27th August

Written by Laura

Tonight we named 3 pigs...Laura, Helen & Jason, the girl pig with an identity crisis. They're the new resident pigs at Meanwood Valley Farm & we hoped naming them may prolong their lives.. here's hoping!

We had a good run and then had 3 jobs, weeding the beds for winter vegetables, turning compost (we now have professional status with this task) & bringing woodchip down to cover new compost.

Fun & games were had involving wheelbarrows & Jubz...I say no more...

Thanks for a great evening all!

Shorn Beans

Wednesday 23rd July

Written by Laura

Last night, we ran up to Meanwood Valley Farm on a soggy evening and split into 3 groups. Rachel, Helen, Chloe and I were turning the rather smelly compost, this was a good workout but needless to say, we all headed home for baths afterwards. Christian and Jason who both did their 50th missions (well done guys) worked on some string beans & the rest did some dibbing, to get the ground ready for leeks. We loved it up at the farm and can't wait to head back! We finished off by posing as leeks and various beans for pictures :)

Great work all!

Welcome to Marcia and Lauren on their first sessions.
