Saturday 6th September
Report written by Kash
Powered by the Horsenden pizza (or lighter homemade lunch options), Steph Ducat, Sevan, and Kash took a nice woodland walk from the farm up Horsenden Hill to the Feeding Ealing urban garden site for their second session of the day.
Superna was in charge today, and, having already harvested vegetables from the polytunnel, she tasked GoodGymers with a clearance job. The goal was to tidy up the space next to the polytunnel to make space for next season's potato patch.
Joseph made only a guest appearance this time, otherwise busy with a local show, where he showcased his produce. Wearing an unusually snazzy attire and a flamboyant, flowery hat, he took time to come and say hi to us, entertain us with his usual wit, and shared insights into his ideas about the next season's crops at the urban garden.
With the help of other volunteers, the GoodGymers made massive progress in clearing the overgrown area of weeds. They also tackled the fence panels, previously buried under tangled brambles, taking them out of the way.
If you like the idea of a community space that produces crops for foodbanks, thanks to the efforts of volunteers, GoodGym will be back at the Feeding Ealing garden in October - sign up now!
We're planning to erect a poly-tunnel and growing beds to produce fresh vegetables for local charities.
