7 hardy GG yorkies dressed in as many waterproofs as they could find and helped tame the wild walled garden at Fulford Cross Allotments.

It had been raining all day so we avoided the muddy allotment beds and focussed on clearing brambles which were overpowering the polytunnels and hiding a 'secret garden'

While most of the team worked on uncovering some hidden raised beds, James and I tackled the soon-to-be gap between polytunnels from opposite sides, finally meeting in the middle.

Within an hour we'd made a massive difference to the plot. But never fear - there's still plenty more to do next week
