5 GoodGymers met at the Community Allotment on a most beautiful evening. Jess took on the task of watering all the crops that she could find - I'm sure they were very grateful for the drink. Meanwhile Angela, Georgeta, Roberta and Sheila found their inner Engineers and constructed a frame for the climbing beans which are due to be planted tomorrow. We stuck the poles in as deep as we could using the metal stakes and hammers provided to make holes, so hopefully we now have a sturdy structure. We then split up - Angela and Roberta bagged up the soil from the fig container which had succumbed to fig mosaic virus. Georgeta ( on shovelling duty), Jess (wheelbarrower extraordinaire) and Sheila (spade-wielder) filled up the spare planter with soil and mature horse manure, ready for planting. Another productive session!


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.

Awesome 🤩! I’m sorry to hear about the poorly fig though. I remember planting that at our launch in 2020!
