Gardening in Bramford Community Garden on Sunday was such a sheer pleasure this weekend. It usually is a pleasure, catching up with TTWandsworth garden friends, a good spot of weekly gardening on the plot working through our exciting action plan.
But this weekend we were especially spoilt with the hazy spring sunshine that gave it that extra special nostalgic feeling a bit like playing outside when you were a child.
There were chats, Federico brought a good selection of heritage and unusual seeds so a spot of seed swapping (he has a really good selection of Cucurbits!) and we started our Biochar test bed. There were preparations for the Big Dig event next Saturday and distribution of flyers. Please come along and garden with us next Saturday from 11am ttwandsworth@hotmail.co.uk
It was so lovely sowing the seeds when this is an annual pleasure I am so far denying myself this year with my soon to happen move up to Birmingham in three weeks. But I was able to get my fix in sowing some carrot, parsnip, spinach and beetroot seeds in the Biochar test raised bed and its mirror test bed without the Biochar.
I am definitely going to have to come back for a few visits to see the garden in a month or two just to see how things are coming along. So many exciting things planned for this year... The results of the Biochar test, crop rotation plan, wild flower meadow, edible orchard and that doesn't include all the events and socialising... I think June would be a good month to pop down for a visit!
