Hello blog followers

Sorry, no memory ... in the camera
We only had a half day and spent it weeding

28 August 2014 - The last day of August

Cutting the tape.
Not some grand opening, just training the tomatoes.

Yellow raspberries, ripe & sweet

This was Ryan's last day and Sheila's last day as a volunteer.
A good excuse for a barbecue.

Meanwhile, someone has to keep on weeding

The top bed

Digesting. Cheers.

Back to work creating a new raised bed

hard work but finished in an hour 

ready for some brassica seedlings

safe from the pigeons and slugs.

21 August 2014 - An uncertain day

What should we do?

Compost bin being turned upside down. Good result look out for the worms

Amazing! more potatoes to be pulled out 

Collecting manure for the plot

This is royal mews manure - lot of straw....

A big tomato reddening under the camera

Weed free it would be

No weeds left and lets enjoy the sun while it lasts

The bed after a good dig and weed free

The sky was menacing we rushed to the community room, just in time to avoid the rain.

                              Sorry, we have not introduced our special volunteer student,                    Welcome and Thank you Ryan for your hard work.
                                      Last week some members of the group talked about dominoes, and ...
out they came with coffee and biscuits

A serious business

The winner would get to share ...

Actually the winner, Ryan, left empty ended. 
We shared our harvest with the food bank.

14 August 2014 - A dark and cloudy day

The weather forecast and the sky, for once, were in agreement.

We decided to rush to the plot, water the young plants in the shed 

and collect some vegetables.

We spent the session cooking and eating them while the rain pelted down.

We had a cucumber salad, sweetcorn and green bean minestrone soup.

Not many photos were taken.

7 August 2014 - Not a breeze

Getting ready to face the hill and the heat

More treasure hunting

Perhaps this 'Jogging' cucumber could do with more exercise

Basil seedlings going to a loving home

Our harvest for the day

31 July - Another hot day in the garding

Another hot day, waiting for more to come

Thirsty plants. Thirsty people

Sheila's strimmer frenzy

After the strimmer

Busy weeding

Gardening can be hard work
