It was truly a mega mission yesterday! Eight GGers came to help out at Wandsworth allotments on a day that started out bright and sunny and ended up being pelted with hail. The job involved shifting masses and masses of wood, metal, compost and all manner of bits and pieces that had built up over the years and now had to be moved so that the council can put up a fence around the perimeter. This was a huge job which would have been difficult for the older allotment holders. After a thorough briefing we got stuck in, wheelbarrows and secateurs at the ready. To the sound of a very insistent cockerel and watched over by a curious robin we worked hard for almost two hours until the worsening weather forced us into the shed for shelter. Great job everybody, and a huge thanks for jumping in to help!

It was great to see some new faces at our Saturday session - welcome to the group Michele, Rashi and Inessa!

It was a lovely day for it, the sun was shining and we even had a very on brand robin there watching us hard at work! We quickly got stuck into the jobs for the day, firstly trying to identify the rocket from the weeds before it can be harvested. It's almost time for our very first GG crop -watch this space for more progress. We also planted several rows of peas, which hopefully should come up in spring. Fingers crossed!

We have lots of sessions throughout the week, as well as our regular Monday group run followed by our monthly pub quiz. Hope to see you all again soon!
