Back again at the Mulbery Tree Community Garden. Unfortunately not joined by any other Goodgymers this time. With the recent rains - everything growing like mad! Lots to do and the 12-1pm lunch time slot included a celebration for my birthday - the gift that keeps on giving! Enough cake I think, particularly as I can't "run-it-off" at the moment!

The weather was great, there were several tasks with most getting done, and the coffee/tea at the beginning and lunch at the end was gratefully enjoyed - thanks Catherine who was task owner for the day! We also each left with a bag of "garden greens", and this time there was some "red" as well (cherries). Call-out to Asan who has become a regular and to Olga who has a long history with the garden and who recently joined Goodgym.

Another warm and sunny day with plenty to do in the garden. Everything is growing at a rapid pace now. It was Olga's first good deed with Goodgym - she joined recently - welcome Olga! After 2 hours in which much was accomplished, the team enjoyed the traditional lunch under the Mulberry Tree. The mulberry tree, along with others, was subjected to quite severe pruning a few months ago but is starting to show early signs of mulberries, although likely the cheery tree and plum trees will have fruit ready earlier. Some rain would be great - but hey, hard not to appreciate the sunshine!

Another great session in the Mulberry Tree Community Garden. It was wonderful to have goodgymer Ky join Asan and Mark along with other regular volunteers. There were a large number of tasks of which many got done, followed by lunch under the mulberry tree.

Two Haringey goodgymers went off to the Mulberry Tree again to do some gardening. Another fun session with a good variety of tasks which kept everyone busy. Asan helped with planting asparagus plants, and with planting sweet pepper seedlings in to pots, amongst other tasks, and Mark was kept busy weeding and watering. Karen, Mark's sister, put in a guest appearance, even though she only arrived last night from Cape Town, and impressed all with her gardening skills and energy. Another great lunch prepared by Jo, which included 3 cornered leek pesto with pasta, and herbal tea, capped of a great time together in the garden.

A splendid morning at the Mulberry Tree Community Garden - the rain held off, the early chill in the air disappeared, plenty of interesting tasks and rounded off with a great lunch with nettle soup starring. Asan showed his range of gardening skills transplanting poppy seedlings that had sprouted in several raised beds to a different area in the garden, and also worked with Mark to repair a cold-frame raised bed. Mark planted strawberry runners in to a vertical bed built from a pallet rescued in the area. Come join us on a Friday: 10am-1pm including tea/coffee on arrival and lunch under the mulberry tree before departure.
