Nigel and James joined the Team Springboard on a warm but overcast morning. We dug out one of the compost bins. Thus compost was used in one of the greenhouses to get ready for autumn 🍂 There was a lot of apples to be picked and graded into different containers. There was a lot of watering of the tomatoes and chillies. Esther picked a selection of vegetables , tomatoes, chillies and a box of apples 🍎 to be used at coffee tots café.

Nigel joined 6 members of the springboard team on a sunny 🌞 morning at the springboard "zen garden " First on the list was watering the greenhouses and pots. Followed by Weeding, planting seeds into pots, and picking a variety of tomatoes 🍅 courgette and cucumbers 🥒 😋 we also picked from the blueberry bushes, although small, they were delicious 😋 we also tried some sweet potato leaves 🍃 😋 lovely in salads to add a peppery flavour. We had a well deserved drink, chocolate brownies, biscuits and some paneer toasties, as well as a good chat to end the session... we also met a very thirsty dinosaur 🦕...

James and nigel joined the springboard team for a morning of watering all the plant's in the greenhouses and raised beds. We weeded area's as well as digging up the bed of potatoes 🥔 😋.

Nigel 👍 assisted 4 members of springboard at this session During a week of extreme heat, todays cooler weather allowed for vital crop care. We deep-watered greenhouse tomatoes and chillies, as well as other plant's, and irrigated outdoor squash, leeks, and sweetcorn. Additionally, we potted up plants into larger containers with fresh compost, successfully reducing plant stress and promoting healthy root growth. https://www.goodgym.org/v3/profile/nigel-62158405-47ff-496f-b3ee-0a9b9f279b2c
