Purple and green peas, grown by Hafiza. A very wet morning, so wet we could barely get out in the garden - managed a few minutes. Spent the morning chatting.

Carrots!

Today Guley harvested the first of her carrots. Had a great day in the garden - tasting peas and rocket and working out what were weeds and what were not...

Great Radishes!

Umme (left) has managed to grow some very large radishes in her first year at the Hind Grove garden. She shared them with June.

Saturday June 11th - session cancelled

Apologies but the 12.3o to 2pm session on Saturday June 11th 2011 has had to be cancelled. Our next session will be on Thursday June 16th from 10 to 12noon.

We are still looking for more volunteers to help run our sessions. The Saturday session in particular needs more people to commit to helping out and now needs two people to support it. Get in touch if you think you can help.

Built in two (half) days. One day to put the wooden raised beds together from a kit of parts, and then a second day to put the beds in place and fill them with top soil and manure.

Menteath House Garden is almost done! Eight raised beds, in place, filled with compost and topsoil. A great effort from the team!

Menteath House garden build - help needed

The work is starting to create a lovely new vegetable garden outside Menteath House in Poplar. Menteath House is located between Dod Street and Farrance Street - E14 7DZ.

The beds are being built tomorrow (May 19th) at the Hind Grove Community Hall.

On Saturday May 21st from 11am to 3pm the beds will be moved over to the garden from the hall and filled with soil and compost.

If you can come along and help on Saturday- please do - even if it is only for a short time, as many hands make light work! Tools and gloves are provided, but make sure you wear suitable clothing and shoes as this is dirty work!
