Georgeta, Ed and Sheila gathered at the community allotment on a very sunny evening. The plants in the greenhouse were completely dehydrated, so Georgeta took on the task of doing all the watering, and she continued watering all the outside beds too. Ed and Sheila added horse manure to a raised bed and erected a wigwam from canes. Then it was time to plant the climbing beans, tie them in and give them a good water.The last job of the day was to add some manure to an empty bed, and Ed then did a great job in delivering the heavy bags of topsoil to spread on the top. A lucky Robin was spotted feasting on the beautiful worms from the manure, who we named Mrs Fluffy as she(?) has some distinctive fluffy feathers on her back. Thanks to Georgeta for the beautiful photo of Mrs Fluffy
The Maidenhead Community Allotment is run by a group of volunteers, who grow food to share with local residents, the users of the Boyn Grove Community and Resource Centre and Maidenhead Foodshare. They work with Men in Sheds, who are based on the same site. Men in Sheds is an initiative to combat loneliness by providing a space for men to connect and chat over practical tasks.
