Garden update, including our own page on Co-operate!

Last week, we pulled out the remaining sweetcorn plants and dug over some of the beds, removing stones. We planted one emptied bed with clover seeds for winter and plan on continuing this as other crops are harvested. 

The current veggie crop includes kale, swiss chard, potatoes and beans. Squashes are ripening under masses of huge leaves. The apple trees are laden with fruit. 

 

Thank you, Nicola, for providing the update and the lovely photos.

Empty Common is live on Co-operate!

Co-operate is a website by the Coop that aims to help people make good things happen in communities. Thanks to Charlotte, our group has its own page here. We are hoping to reach more people and receive donations of equipment and resources. We have also applied to grants to ensure the future of the garden.

 

Welcome, August!

The weather has been warm, so the watering rota is in full action. We practise social distancing and turn up in shifts - everyone brings their own gloves and sanitation aids. Here are some photos by Nicola.

 

On Wednesday, the Evergreen Elfons (woodcraft folk) visited the garden, here are some lovely photos of them enjoying the space.
