9 Runners made their way to the new Wishing Well/Goodgym veggie plot to make a start on the exciting community project.

The sun shone all night! Right up to 6pm the rain was lashing down with really strong winds, then right on time the sun came out! That's the luck of the GoodGymer's for you!

We decided that we are going to build 4 raised beds, no digging needed, just placing the beds on top of the grass. We were lucky to have a visit from Helen at Incredible Edible to help us with the planning. Helen is going to mark out the beds for us and the awesome Nigel will work out what materials we need.

In addition to the allotment planning, we did other tidying again tonight. Those cheeky weeds had come back again, so we

  • tidied the path again
  • weeded the paving at the entrance
  • tidied up the allotment area and restored the ‘original features’ - found the raised bed of the old herb garden and around the fruit trees
  • litter picking around the centre - collecting 2 big bags of rubbish!!

It was a really productive evening and as always, great fun in great company!
