St John's First Anniversary Bramble Bash

3/2/2015

1 Comment

 
Well we seem always to be so lucky when we get organised down at St John's. The day was cold but dry and so was the ground under the trees, where we needed to continue the clearance work. With a good dry spell, it meant we could get a lot of fallen twigs and old Christmas trees burnt. So many festive Trees ended up here over the years.

A year of growing at St John's Meadow

It is coming up to our first year in the meadow down at St John's Church on Auckland Road and we can't quite believe how time has flown! The space feels so lived in now, and a structure is there, whether plants are blooming in it or not. The three big beds are now ticking over with green manures, onions and winter salad / greens. We can now sit back and think about our successes and dare I say it failures over the last 9 months.

Water, water, everywhere - but not a drop in the water butts. One thing I'm learning as a novice gardener is that a bit of rain doesn't mean you can get away without watering. Although we'd had a steady drizzle overnight and earlier that morning, the beds were dry, the lettuce limp and the newly-planted onions gasping. The water butt gave a pathetic dribble that half-filled my watering can, then gave up.

Diary of a Novice Gardener: Week Two

10/9/2014

 

By Anna Sayburn

When I arrived at the Edible Garden on my second week, it was deserted. There had been heavy rain earlier that morning, so perhaps people had been put off by the weather. Undeterred and with new confidence in my weed-identifying abilities, I grabbed a trowel and got on with it.
