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.

Tonight's task took us to the pond at Harmony Gardens. Mike explained that three-cornered leeks were running rampant, and we needed to pull as many as possible up control the spread. They can spread by dividing bulbs but also through seeds. Mike advised not growing them in your garden - but they make a tasty pesto!

Everyone grabbed a fork and got to work. Before we knew it it was 8pm, there were still three cornered leeks everywhere but we had made a dent.

We're heading back on May 20, when the three-cornered leeks will be over but Mike will find plenty of other things for us to do.

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.
