Unsurprisingly enough, the main task at the Community Allotment was watering! Whilst Georgeta and Sol heroically used the watering cans, Sheila used the hose. Between the 3 of us we soon got the watering done, which gave us time to do some other jobs. Whilst we left one of the empty water butts filling we decided to tackle the tomatoes, which had all gone wild and were all tangling up together. With some new stakes and twine, and cutting off all the rogue side shoots, we got the plants under control and the fruit will now have space to develop. A hot, but successful session


This task supported

The Maidenhead Community Allotment is run by a group of volunteers, who grow food to share with local residents, the users of the Boyn Grove Community and Resource Centre and Maidenhead Foodshare. They work with Men in Sheds, who are based on the same site. Men in Sheds is an initiative to combat loneliness by providing a space for men to connect and chat over practical tasks.
