Tonight was all about watering as the heatwave continues to keep everyone and the plants hot and thirsty.
Having located the handle for the water carriers and extra buckets Dave, Luke, Claire and Jonathan headed to the river to fill every bucket, wheelbarrow and watering can in sight.
Wheelbarrows loaded with water were wheeled over to the GoodGym flowerbed for watering all the plants to keep it looking colourful and keep them going for a few more days.
Meanwhile the water carriers were taken to the community garden and emptied into the waterbutts. As fast as they were filled they were emptied for watering all the vegetables.
By the end it was a slick operation emptying the water carriers into buckets and into the waterbutts.
In between all of this Tom and Laura managed to give the compost heaps a good turn as well.
Let hope we get some rain before our next visit.
