The weather forecast was looking awful and I was worried our task was going to be rained off, but it turned out to be a lovely evening down at the community croft with Earth in Common.

After a short run down Leith Walk it was another evening of graft turning over compacted soil and digging out stubborn weeds. We are making steady progress in expanding the market garden but there's still a lot to do, so expect us to be back again to continue the work! The vision is to keep coming back to this spot and see it transform over time to a thriving growing space with Goodgym veg supporting the community!

Thanks to Ali and the Earth in Common team for hosting us again.

Shout out to Lucy for getting to a park run this past weekend.

Props to Rory for running all the way to and from Gorgie to get to the task.

And congratulations to Jake for completing your PHD! A huge achievement and looking forward to exploring your idea for a GoodGym run based around your history of running tour in Edinburgh - watch this space for developments on this.
