Ah fork!

Wednesday 18th September

Written by Alice Whale

The sun came out for a delightful evening of planting, pruning, weeding and... fork destruction! We'll certainly miss these spring/summer sessions on the farm... But we'll be back next year from April!

Lady courgettes have bustles

Wednesday 17th July

Written by Bristol runner

Things I learnt today with some wonderful people doing some guerilla gardening…

  • Bees are better fat
  • Lady courgettes have junk
  • Cute means different things to different people
  • A chard is not a beetroot
  • Walnuts are nice pickled
  • Custard creams aren’t as good as bourbons
  • Exercise can give you dolphins if you are lucky
  • Bindweed tug o’ wars are fleeting but beautiful

We did lots of weeding…. wishing the limequat good health.

Until next time...

Green gym and the adventures of the wheelbarrow

Wednesday 15th May

Written by Alice Whale

With all the rain and sunshine we've been having, the community garden was looking extra green and lush... But without the help of GoodGym was soon going to be overrun with some naughty bindweed and ash. So we got to work cutting back along the paths, weeding and hoeing and got the garden looking lovely and neat again! Thanks everyone!

Weedin’ the beds

Wednesday 16th August 2023

Written by Bristol runner

Do you tickle your tomatoes? A good question but we were here for something else. Our task this evening was to weed the vegetable beds at the community garden. There was lots of bindweed and general peskiness to be removed but they were no match for us. Welcome to Jasmine and Martha joining us for the first time this evening. It’s a shorter walk than usual this week so it’s a shorter report 😬

Until next time…

Runner Beans supporting Runner Beans

Wednesday 17th May 2023

Written by Alice Whale

Another beautiful sunny afternoon at the St Werb's Community Farm Gardens was had!

This week we built supports for the newly planted runner beans, rescued some spring onions from some encroaching weeds, planted up some baby chards and watered the heck out of as many beds as we could. Good work everyone!
