6 Goodgymmers met at the community allotment for our regular Friday evening session. Sue, our taskowner, had sent through some specific tasks for us, so we set straight to work. Roberta and Angela dug up all the tomatoes which have succumbed to blight, bagged them up and disposed of them in the general waste. Sheila and Angela then covered the beds with membrane to see them over the winter. Scarlett and Matthew took down any beans that had stopped producing, leaving the roots in the soil to continue their nitrogen-fixing activity. The bean plants at the end of the row were left in place as they still had young beans developing. Sol started to trim some of the long grass around the shed and the edges of the beds. When we had finished our tasks, someone asked what we should do next, as we still had some time left. Quick as a flash, Sol came out with 'Find Your Own Enjoyment!' So we did! Some of us weeded and others trimmed the long hedge, as far as we could reach anyway. All whilst having a good chit chat. Another productive and enjoyable session
