On a warm and breezy Sunday morning we met Mrs K at her allotment and saw that it had become overgrown with weeds. She had been ill and unable to dig the ground but wanted to plant beans, her pride and joy. We got to work turning over the earth with forks and pulling up the stubborn, and very strong rooted, weeds. Mrs K offered her gardening advice to us and another volunteer digging another allotment - as well as tea and biscuits! It was hard work but satisfying to get rid of the hardy weeds and discovering a few potatoes.... Mrs K is now looking forward to planting her runner beans in the newly dug soil.
