Time to flex those muscles
May 8, 2010
Feeling energetic in the spring weather? The growing team has lots of jobs on the veg plot this Sunday.
We need to spread barrowloads of compost on some newly-formed beds and dig out a base for our new shed. We’ve also more sowing, weeding and planting out to get done.
We’ll be on the site between 10am and 1pm on Sunday. If you’re able to come, please bring an assortment of spades, rakes, hoes, hand tools and, if possible, a wheelbarrow for the compost shifting. And don’t forget to include gloves and a snack!
Last weekend expert grower Jeremy got the tractor out and formed several new growing beds for us to spread with the compost. We have carrot, parsnip and spinach seed to sow.
Kitty, Mark M, Penny, Rebecca, Robert and Charlotte performed some painstaking tasks. We dug out thistles from the garlic and onion beds, weeded beetroot and pricked out celery seedlings.
