6 Goodgymers made their way to Saffron Acres, our first task under the supervision of Jack was to water their tomato plants, filling watering cans from the water butt.
The main task today was to start extending the allotment patch on the heath by cutting down all the weeds as tall as me. It was a prickly task but everyone got stuck in and made a huge dent in the over growth. Also moved a mound of compost that was moved undercover ready for the allotment growth.
A very productive morning and we still had time to chat about races. Mel and Dave had just taken part in 5km and 10km wolf runs, weldone both amazing achievement compelting a course like that, they both love a challenge!
Luckily after all the hard work Dave was on hand to make teas, delivered in a shopping basket!
Fantastic to see the allotment we helped dig and weed last time was bursting with growing veg, Saffron Acres are selling veg box's to the community to put the money back into the charity, we were all given a sample to try before we buy.
Weldone everyone a very worthy task where we will be re-visiting to finish the job, me and Sarah got some very strange looks running down the street carrying our beetroot and lettuce! Nice chatty 5km round trip.
