Today we were planting pink Cyclamen's in a couple of areas along the path which will create a carpet effect as they grow and spread. Adding to the blues and yellows of other plants and flowers, there is also an abundance of Lemon Balm plants which smell wonderful. We finished the session with some (never ending) weeding in one of the other plant beds. It was then off to get some refreshments and cake from the Cafe before leaving.

5 goodgymer lifted chairs, stacked trolleys and unpacked crates to leave a well packed and hopefully in-mice-spitible foodbank

5 goodgymers weighed, sorted, packed and unpacked crates at the foodbank.

5 goodgymers packed, lifted and handed out much needed food parcels to Portsmouth residents.

Abby and Rosie visited a very sunny North End gardens. After a bit of weeding and only a small amount of litter picking needed, we prepared the soil for our seeds.

We had seeds to sew as part of the RHS Grow With It, Big Seed Sow community project (watch this space for the Big Seed Save event inthe Autumn).

This years focus is water usage so all our seeds should cope well in dry conditons. We had Californian poppies, Love-lies-bleeding, Cosmos 'Candy Stripe', Rudbeckia and Fennel.

We then watered with collected rain water.

Looking forward to seeing how they do over the next few months!

Food was crated up, chairs were stacked and doors were locked ready for next week.
