An amazing 6 Goodgymmers answered the call to help out at the Boyn Grove Community Allotment on a beautiful evening. We had been given a comprehensive list of tasks by taskowner Sue. Jess set to work, getting the hose out of the shed, connecting it up, and started filling up the water butts. , Rachel and Roberta tackled the strawberry bed, freeing the plants from the covering of weeds while Jack and Lisa gave all the raised beds and containers a good soaking of water with the watering cans. Sheila and Jess weeded around the raspberries, and while Sheila went to stake the tomatoes, Jess took on a sewing task. Yes, sewing, not sowing! The netting around one of the raised beds needed mending and an extra piece of netting added in to fill a big gap. Jess set to, using a safety pin as a needle, and some cotton thread. What a fantastic seamstress! There's still some to finish off next time, but Jess made a great start. It was great to see Roberta and Lisa again, and to talk to Cllr Jack who has a role championing Volunteering on the new council, getting some first-hand experience with Goodgym for the second time this week. Great work, team!
