At the community allotment this evening the first task for Angela and Sheila was to start filling the water butts once the Day Centre had emptied, as the hose could be a trip hazard. Meanwhile we started taking down the tomato plants, as any remaining fruits would not have time to ripen. The green tomatoes were collected for anyone wanting to make green tomato chutney. The plants were put on the compost heap and the canes tidied away. Our good deed for the day was to give some produce to a lady passing by who wanted to buy the vegetables. I hope she enjoyed it!


This task supported

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.
