As Jubz kindly helped me figure out my tent putting up skills in preparation for our camping weekend, the rest of the team got to work on OWLS allotments.

We filled in a hole, weeded large areas & laid some stones. Great work everyone & sorry I only joined in at the end! But at least I now know how to put my tent up! Thank you Jubz :)

Thanks to Helen for meeting the group at Heart & welcome to Aran & Farzad on their first session, we hope to see you again soon.

Thanks also for the pun idea Helen!!

Tonight we had a lovely big group who all headed to Meanwood Valley Farm to help the team with a variety of jobs. The main job was to prepare a large area ready for tomato plants. Apparently they need soft ground, up to 50cm deep in order to thrive which was good to know, as I prepare to plant my own in the coming days. We used a large variety of tools including a wheel hoe which was very satisfying to use! This area is now ready for the plants to go in.

Our resident compost turners did their work as usual, Rachel & Helen always volunteer for this smelly job & Shannen joined them tonight, thanks ladies :)

As we always do, we got sent away with a variety of organic veggies including beetroot, radishes & rhubarb. Delicious!

Welcome to newcomers Billy & Katie, we hope to see you again soon.

Great work team!

Fixing cupboards, digging paths, pulling weeds & woodchipping...there were lots of varied tasks for the gang tonight at Bedford Fields. The path group worked hard & cleared the whole path, ready for woodchipping. The weeding group cleared many different beds for planting this week. I was absolutely covered in mud by the time I finished, I think that was my muddiest task yet! It was great to see Amy again & to meet Aorvi tonight. We hope to see you again soon.

Good work team!

Tonight we said goodbye to our friend Christian who's moving back to Nigeria. Where will we be without our very own GoodGym Leeds superman, the fittest of us all, the hardest working, photo dodging, fruit eating machine?! Christian, I speak for all of us when I say we're going to miss you so much! We look forward to hearing about your new journey wearing your Yorkshire flat cap!!!

We ran to Left Bank tonight to wash many wedding chairs. The production line worked with everyone washing, Adam steaming, Katie & I drying & Helen organising it all! Then we got to finish off with a pint & present giving ceremony for Christian. He got his flat cap, Yorkshire mix sweets & tea bags as well as a card with pictures of all his best bits!

It was great to welcome so many newcomers too. Joao, Sourav, Jacob, Amara & Sarah thanks for coming & we hope to see you again soon.
