Gotta Pick a Potato or Two

Once again, we were lucky after a rainy day to have a sunny evening for a run around Barnsley.

An intrepid team of 4 including Barnsley newcomer - Katie - headed over to the Carer's Garden to meet Gordon, who had all sorts of jobs for us to do. We liked the sound of potato picking the most.

We were introduced to one very overgrown raised bed. Our task was to dig the whole thing over, bagging all the good potatoes, removing the weeds and replanting any tiny potatoes for next time.

Gordon was an amazing source of horticultural knowledge and throughout the task we learnt as much as anyone could ever learn about growing potatoes.

They'll grow anywhere, you could grow them in a wellie boot!

We'd cleared the plot with ten minutes to spare so Gordon had another job for us, which was to relocate a whole wendy house. We were momentarily distracted from this by gargantuan raspberries which proved to be perfect fuel for the big lift!

Our fitness session included a hill sprint warm up, followed by a round of circuits for upper and lower body and finished off with some plank exercises for the core.
