We had the perfect weather for our first session of the year at St Werbergs Community Farm Gardens, marking the beginning of spring! And what a fantastic turnout with 10 GoodGymers coming along to lend a hand with everything from weeding the vegetable beds to adding support to a drooping fruit tree. Thanks everyone!

The sun came out for a delightful evening of planting, pruning, weeding and... fork destruction! We'll certainly miss these spring/summer sessions on the farm... But we'll be back next year from April!

A great session planting carrots, spring onions and callaloo. Plus rescuing some other plants and trees from encroaching bind weed!

Things I learnt today with some wonderful people doing some guerilla gardening…

• Bees are better fat
• Lady courgettes have junk
• Cute means different things to different people
• A chard is not a beetroot
• Walnuts are nice pickled
• Custard creams aren’t as good as bourbons
• Exercise can give you dolphins if you are lucky
• Bindweed tug o’ wars are fleeting but beautiful

We did lots of weeding…. wishing the limequat good health.

Until next time...

With all the rain and sunshine we've been having, the community garden was looking extra green and lush... But without the help of GoodGym was soon going to be overrun with some naughty bindweed and ash. So we got to work cutting back along the paths, weeding and hoeing and got the garden looking lovely and neat again! Thanks everyone!

Do you tickle your tomatoes? A good question but we were here for something else. Our task this evening was to weed the vegetable beds at the community garden. There was lots of bindweed and general peskiness to be removed but they were no match for us. Welcome to Jasmine and Martha joining us for the first time this evening. It’s a shorter walk than usual this week so it’s a shorter report 😬

Until next time…
