Destroying the Squirrels' Stash
4 GoodGymers made their way to help the Maidenhead Community Allotment in Windsor and Maidenhead.

4 Goodgymers helped out at the community allotment on a lovely sunny evening. Jess and Abbi got there early and had done the watering before Sheila arrived. Then it was on to transplanting a couple of currant bushes to their final places, and a blackberry plant into a pot ( with some yummy horse manure mixed in) Our last task was to start filling bags with soil from raised bed 14, as this bed needs to be moved to make way for a greenhouse. We uncovered an acorn and a chocolate digestive biscuit (!), perhaps a squirrel's winter stash, and an item we thought looked like a finger bone but was just a piece of clay, but it led to some interesting conversations! The 21 bags were stored near the temporary compost heap, but still plenty more soil to be emptied
