In the words of Erica, Helen had 'pure steamer joy' tonight whilst watching the eclipse through her veg steamer! Luckily Adam also brought some eclipse glasses so he shared them with 14 of us! Thanks Adam! We got a good view at the beginning & end of the session which was amazing to see.

We headed to OWLS allotments to fix raised beds & to do our usual weeding. We also had a journalism student come to interview us about all things GoodGym. Adam & I both got interviewed...let's hope we come across OK!

We got everyone's hopes up on the way back as we were going to get ice cream but sadly the queue was too long! Next time.

It was nice to welcome Maya, a member of the Young Leaders group who started tonight. Welcome!

Another lovely evening at Meanwood Farm.

Jason, Helen & Erica took their role of caring for cucumbers very seriously, removing mites that were invading them...Helen is so committed, she wants to go & check on them!

Chloe, Rachael, Katie, Shannen & I headed to the Orchard to remove foliage from below the trees with blunt sheers & the rest of the group weeded. There's always lots of weeds at this time of year!

Welcome to Anisah on her first GoodGym task, we hope to see you again soon.

Thanks for another great task all, it's always a pleasure.

What a great evening we've had with the GoodGym Leeds gang tonight.

Compost moving, weeding & laying membrane were the name of the game up at OWLS allotments. There were also discussions about ants, cricket, musicals, football & Carole.

We then headed to Heart for a drink afterwards & discussed Sarah's interview tomorrow at BBC Radio Leeds where she'll be talking all things GoodGym. We can't wait to listen Sarah!

Tonight at GoodGym there was hope in the air about the world cup semi-final....

Before the disappointment of the England game though, we had a great session at Meanwood Valley Farm where we weeded four different areas. Andy, the Head Grower always says what an impact we make in such a short time. These summer sessions have such a great vibe & everyone was on top form.

Welcome to Eliza & Hal tonight, we hope to see you again soon.

Next week, we'll grab those summer drinks after the session. The pubs were far too busy for it tonight.

On a hot hot hot evening, Rachael led the team on a chatty, sweaty jog along the ridge up to Bedford Fields. They weeded, wood chipped & ate gooseberries in the shade.

Thanks to Rachael for leading & to everyone else for turning up in this heat!

Welcome to Christopher who completed his first session.
