Tonight we named 3 pigs...Laura, Helen & Jason, the girl pig with an identity crisis. They're the new resident pigs at Meanwood Valley Farm & we hoped naming them may prolong their lives.. here's hoping!
We had a good run and then had 3 jobs, weeding the beds for winter vegetables, turning compost (we now have professional status with this task) & bringing woodchip down to cover new compost.
Fun & games were had involving wheelbarrows & Jubz...I say no more...
Thanks for a great evening all!

We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money

What a great night with the GoodGym Leeds gang!
In 30 degrees heat, we braved a short run up to the OWLS allotments. We've not been in a while so it needed some serious weeding but as there was 18 of us we got loads done and it looked so much better when we left! Adam wheeled Jubz around in a wheelbarrow full of insects, hopefully you've not been bitten Jubz!
We then headed back to Heart for a drink, chips and some lovely Indian cakes curtesy of Jubz's mum, thank you! :) The topics of conversation included erm cake & getting ticks in awkward places!
Great work team!

Along with two little visitors, tonight the group ran up to Bedford Fields to do various jobs including edge shearing, mulch moving and weeding. It was a big group so we made fast work & got lots done. The two little visitors enjoyed the run but not the gardening as much, but we made it work! They may stay at home in future! Great work all!

Last night we headed down to Meanwood Valley Farm for the first time in years. We had two teams at work tonight: Team 1, Lydia, Katie & Kawan clearing the garden & Christian & Lydia wheeling the vegetation to the the compost heap. Then there was Team Number 2, Kat, Katie, Jubz & Jason who were moving compost from one bin to the next. Not a hugely popular job as the compost was full of number twos from the farm animals! A smelly job indeed, but Jubz still managed a smile. Well done guys! At least you got to say hello to a friendly goat :)

That was the question Eb was asking this evening, providing some light entertainment! Tonight we had a new task at All Hallows Church where Rainbow Junction is held. We were tasked with levelling the ground, weeding and painting the gates. This was a big job and we'll have to go back to do more but we made a great start, helping to ensure the garden is safer for people who use it.
Welcome back to Eb tonight and congratulations to Kat for completing her 80th good deed!

Shout out to the team! It was great seeing you guys yesterday. Thank you Laura for the warm welcome back. Can’t wait to be back next month with a new question. See you then.
