We visited Mousehold Heath again. A new task this time (before the Bracken pulling commences in the summer), which was pulling up self-seeded Birch trees amongst areas of the heath where they don't want then to be growing.

It sounds crazy but we must have pulled out well over 100 of them! They have been temporarily been replanted in another area of the heath before they find new homes.

We visited Wensum Park again to continue the work we started last week.

We finished clearing the 12 star sign flower beds. Some needed old roots digging out, lavender cut back, stones removing and some just a complete turnover of the soil.

They are now pretty much ready to be planted.

Well done everyone, we'll have to return later in the year to see how it has flourished over the summer.

We returned to Mousehold Allotments to continue the work we started there a couple of weeks ago.

Firstly, we have a few mentions:

A big welcome to Vicky, who joined us for her first GoodGym task.

Well done to Sam who was completing her 50th GoodGym deed!

Congratulations to Woody who was completing his 100th GoodGym deed!!

The jobs this week set by Lizzie and Will were: 1) to lay down cardboard on the middle area. 2) load compost into a wheelbarrow 3) transport the compost and spread it over the card board 4) remove as many old ground sheets from the ground as possible

We discovered lots of little frogs in the grass areas, so were extra careful of those. It was great to see that none of us had a fear of frogs.

Everyone did a great job.
