Lockdowns and warm/wet weather meant that the PARCS garden was in need of a bit of attention.

Who you gonna call? GoodGym Weedbusters!

We quickly filled the brown bin with various greenery, luckily we had Rosie (GG Portsmouth's answer to Monty Don) on hand to help us identify the weeds rather than the plants.

Jo had brought her own secateurs so made short work of the brambles for us.

Rachel braved the compost bin and wrestled off the lid (not too many creepy crawlies) so we had another bin to fill.

Jen made friends with the resident snails and gave us a commentary on what they were up to, including a possible house move (shell swap?) and some 18 rated activities not suitable for the run report!

Tracey unintentionally customised her black GG tshirt with a load of sticky green seeds, once we'd looked we noticed that most of us had also been caught by them.

2 bins and about 6 sacks filled and it was time to head home (via Tesco for 3 of us!), just as the rain started to fall, I'm sure the snails will be pleased!
