Another lovely Tuesday evening session with 7 Gooodgymmers returning to the community croft in Leith for some hard graft.
With the fading daylight, we benefited from our patch having a nearby streetlight providing enough light on a lovely crisp autumn evening. As we were taking on a heavily overgrown section of land we brought our best 'Ross Kemp energy' and got stuck in. Armed with spades, forks and gloves, we dug, pulled, cleared and shifted our way through stubborn vegetation, gradually reclaiming more ground for future growing.
Although we made excellent progress, there is more work to do, so the plan is to come back again next week to continue the work - sign ups are open now. With a few more sessions, we're hoping this patch can eventually become productive growing space and play its part in supporting the amazing work being done by Earth in Common and the wider Leith community.
Until then, we'll keep getting grubby

We will be helping to protect and maintain the Meadows and Bruntfield Links public park areas
