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.

Last time our heroes were at Blue House Yard, it was to clear an unloved bed in the entrance and get it ready for planting. And now the day had come! Goodgym Haringey assembled at the yard, only to be told by Sarah that the first job for the day was to get rid of a tonne bag full of weeds from last time! This entailed carrying it up the road to the garden at the Haringey Learning Project. They don't call them tonne bags for nothing - those things are HEAVY! But one thing Goodgym Haringey are good at is teamwork, and they all took turns doing their bit.

The school also happened to be where the plants for today's task had been delivered. So Job #2 was to carry plants and tools back down to Blue House Yard.

Once there, we got to Part Three of today's task: placement and planting of all of the plants. Many holes were dug and plants were planted - no, not there!!

Our team made short work of the planting and had enough time to return the tools and empty plant pots at the end. Our friends at Ludo's bus bar promised to water the plants in, and the only job left for our team was to ensure we were also well hydrated before heading away into the night.

Wednesday evening found us back at the Tottenham Community Sports Centre, and for some of the team it came with a strong sense of déjà vu as we stepped once again into the changing rooms beside the boxing gym. Armed with what felt like every cleaning product known to humankind, the team surged into action.

Gladys Gladys and Asan Asan — both fairly new to GoodGym - took on the women’s changing room with impressive determination. Next door, The Neil and Yann were deep in the trenches of the somewhat larger men’s changing room, while James, now showing the calm wisdom of a seasoned goodgymer, positioned himself strategically in the gym area to tackle the weights.

Someone, of course, had to make sure photos were taken, morale was high, and reinforcements were secured in the form of extra cleaning sprays for mirrors and mysterious floor types. That someone was me (Mark ), doing my best impression of a roaming supply officer while Cecile and Sylvie (our task owners) kept us well stocked.

In double‑quick time the rooms were sparkling, and we spilled out into the cool evening air before heading to our next mission: a room in the main building filled with treadmills and other gym equipment. By this point the team was in full overdrive—no doubt inspired by Neil, who was just about to complete his 100th good deed. A huge congratulations to Neil on reaching this brilliant milestone.
