THE SQUASH ARCH AND TEA23
Today, we made significant progress on the squash arch, which will maximise our growing space in this bustling area that sees plenty of wheelbarrow traffic. With the ground previously leveled, today we measured out the path, placed two of the six pallet collars, laid down cardboard, woodchipped the path, and began filling the first bed with our homemade, nutrient-rich compost. Our creative team of volunteers plan to weave willow boughs to form the arch – we can’t wait to see the stunning result!
We lovingly removed all the seedlings and watered them outdoors under the warm spring sunshine. This keeps our greenhouse dry and uninviting to little critters. The seedlings then get transferred back into their toasty home, allowing them to grow big and strong.
A special shoutout to Jon from Tea23co who supplies us with cardboard for our no-dig beds!
He had a special delivery today, new tea flavours for our Kitchen Plot tea chest. Check out sweet lemon & ginger and peachy green – they are amazing! We can’t wait to share them with you at our upcoming events!
There’s still time to RSVP for our Social Prescribing Open Day on Wednesday, March 19th! Email us at Wellbeing to confirm your attendance. For more info, reach out to Sally our project lead.
