our tomato forest has been amazing this year, regularly producing 10kg a week for pantries and food hubs. #ccpcheltenham , #cheltopendoor , #pococulina

We have been too busy to post much this year. 5 plots taken on at Ryeworth site in Charlton Kings and 3 more beds at St Marks site. A lot of compost moved, fences built and polytunnels erected. The veg we are now producing was worth it though, as you will find out...

Without volunteers we would struggle. Loads of @GE_UK volunteers turned up in the summer to prepare some land, we thought you might like to see how it went. Fabulous cabbages now being sold, sprouts will be ready for xmas.

Garlic question, have left garlic to swell and it is doing so but the current rain is a concern. They have not died back yet, would you lift now or wait a week or 2 and risk rot? @DirtyGardenH0E

We could not run this project without some fantastic supporters, here are two groups from SHS-drinks who dramatically improved the allotment site as you can see.

Tell me I'm not weird, and anyone else love the smell and the green that comes off when washing your hands after pinching out tomatoes for an hour?

Wanted, 2nd hand barrels for water storage, as big as possible. Any suggestions in/near Cheltenham for sourcing these?

For our working party on Saturday 27th we need a smallish petrol shredder. We can hire but they seem OTT. Anyone know of any small shredders we can borrow? @Vision21Glos @CheltGreenParty
