Our good seed of the day

Tonight we did our first task with St Paul's Church on Stoke Rd. What a stunning church it is and such beautiful grounds. It was great to have Devajani and Anousha join us on their first task with us too.

Peter, Kam, Sut and I met at the start point and walked down the 1km distance to the Church where we met Devajani and Anousha. We were a few minutes early so task owner Nelina was still en-root!

I took this opportunity to go over some safety guidelines and told the team how the task came about. It's great that after nearly 5 years we are still growing our task base and getting new good deeds to do over Slough.

When Nelina arrived she gave us the task low down and we collected the tools from the 'dungeon' and set to work. We then pro-seeded.

May the fork be with you

The ground was pretty tough and quite difficult to dig into with the spades. The fork team did well though. They were well grounded with their choice of tools. Team spades soon decided it was easier to work on the softer ground and turn over that soil. When bush comes to shove, we best remember to collect the right tool next thyme!

With a solid 45 minutes spent digging up the bed we felt like progress had been made but this bed definitely needs a revisit.

Thank you to the whole team tonight in their efforts.

Next week is bank holiday Monday, however we will be out on a task during the day (rather than the evening).
