With last weeks task getting postponed due to the weather warnings in place we were keen as kale to return to our usual Tuesday digs.

I have to say two of our members looked radish-ing tonight in their newly arrived 50 black t-shirts... looking good Nisha and Jenny.

With two plots to turn over, we got the tools, donned the gloves and got to work... we knew the root-ine by now.

So lettuce see what we got up to today.

  • Kam, Jenny and Sandy got the soft ground and turned over the last plot of the original four that we started.
  • Sara and Gauri, alongside Seb's friend Misa got the tough part! Their plot contained plastic bin bags, marbles and enough debris that it could have been mistaken for a rubbish tip!
  • Nisha and I.... well we just floated amongst the team, cheering them on, chatting about Netflix and just generally being our charming selves. I think at one point the softies said

we need some peas and quiet

so off we trotted to the tough nuts team!

With more work to be done, we will be back in two weeks.

Well done team, great effort as always.
