Ten of us joined Yumi to help finish clearing one of the long beds on the walled garden, with five of us achieving a double digging double! We welcomed Ciara who joined us for her first Goodgym task. We started with continuing to dig trenches to get out all the roots, a task we had started last week. Part way in we were told that we needed to get it dug over and levelled in the next half hour ready for the school next week. Amy and I set to levelling the big mound, by passing down the earth, accidentally showering a few people in earth down the line along the way. This prompted an interesting, if not entirely appropriate, discussion about which Goodgymer you would get to help you bury a body! At the rate at which she was digging Amy T was the popular choice. Yumi were really impressed with our efforts and we were given goody bags of chard, plums and an apple.
