Another great evening spent at Beckhill Community Garden tonight.
We ran from Heart to meet Lyn for litter picking, laying cardboard & spreading lots of wood chip over a large area. We finished off with a bit of weeding.
Happy belated birthday to Lyn!
Tonight we said goodbye to Elspeth who's moving to Nottingham, good luck & we'll miss you!
Welcome to Dan who joined us for the first time in years tonight .

Today, I headed up to OWLS allotments to weed the back bed. It was covered in nettles so I was stung A LOT but it looked loads better by the time I left :)

Tonight we named 3 pigs...Laura, Helen & Jason, the girl pig with an identity crisis. They're the new resident pigs at Meanwood Valley Farm & we hoped naming them may prolong their lives.. here's hoping!
We had a good run and then had 3 jobs, weeding the beds for winter vegetables, turning compost (we now have professional status with this task) & bringing woodchip down to cover new compost.
Fun & games were had involving wheelbarrows & Jubz...I say no more...
Thanks for a great evening all!

Christian was in his element tonight, he was climbing and sawing trees and playing football with local kids.
The group headed up to Beckhill Community Garden to trim the Ivy from the tree, tidy up the weeping willow & we then put the cuttings onto the dead hedge we made a few weeks ago.
The rest of the gang weeded and trimmed tomatoes. We were then sent home with some Chicken wood mushrooms, runner beans, yellow cucumbers & courgettes. Thanks Lyn!
Helen took the group on a magical mystery tour on the way back!
We said goodbye to Katie who's going travelling for 3 months. Have fun Katie and see you at Christmas!

We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money
