Weather started grey but sun was starting to come up. We had a number of people who could not make it but local Finchley Energy Garden and Finchley Memorial Garden stalwart Margaret and I attended to make sure that the plants were all well watered in anticipation of the supposed heat wave imminent. We wrestled with a leaking hose and ended up using trusty watering can and bucket to do the job. As always, great to receive the appreciation from the commuters and hear how much the garden, and our hard work, means to them. Also great seeing the plants, including tomato and artichoke, that we planted thriving.

Weather was a bit nippy but pleasant when sun was out. Anna from Energy Gardens was joined by a couple of the regular local volunteers, Lisa and Margaret , by Paul and Subham from GoodGym and also Abdellah. We planted some tomato plants and other plants as well as deadheaded and cleared some of the plants that were on their way out. Great to see many of the seedlings now are growing plants and the artichokes look especially good! As always, we received many heartfelt thanks from many commuters as well as were told we were an inspiration.
