"Wilted" was the word that came to mind when brainstorming, as Lisa, Sheila, Neeta and myself met at the Community Allotment to tend to the plants on such a hot and dry summer evening. 🌞🥵🥵🌾🌾 We gave the wilting veggies a good drink of water, we couldn't refill the water butts because the tap top went missing and it's whereabouts is still a mystery, and then moved on to doing some weeding. It was really good to welcome back Neeta to GoodGym, after a long time. She's brought along her two furry babies, Coco and Bella, who both kept a watchful eye on us, while we were going about our gardening tasks. Since Neeta didn't want to be photographed, I took the opportunity to post a photo of Bella... or was it Coco?... I hope they don't mind. 🐾🐶

The unrelenting temperatures means that the plants at the Community Allotment were desperate for a drink. Georgeta kindly joined Sheila after her social visit to help with the task. Georgeta watered with the hose while Sheila watered the beds round the back and across the car park with watering cans. We also found time to pinch out the tomatoes and construct a better support for the brown drying beans. We were delighted to see a Comma butterfly flit around us as we worked

Sol and myself went to the Community Allotment this evening to tend to the veggies and various other plants. We watered them and refilled the watter butts. Sol moved on to stake the bean plants and I removed the side shoots on the tomato plants. A bit more weeding and a Sol-ful touch, in the way of a shallow dish full of water placed strategically on a garden table - an offering for the thirsty birds, and we were done. Ah... and a last minute check on those beetroots, they are thriving! Let the veggies grow!

Maybe not that hot!... 🌞🌞🌞 Lisa, Georgeta and Sheila, who's just returned from her holidays, formed this lovely hot summer evening the GoodGym Gardening Squad and tended to the Community Allotment. We were tasked with watering the very thirsty veggies as a top priority due to the very dry spell. As the time permitted, we also tackled the weeds in the raised beds in the Green House to-be. A very enjoyable end to the day and a good way to start the weekend.

The last days filled with the hot weather had made plants thirsty for water.

Sol and Lisa made their way to the community allotment.Their task was to water as many veggies and plants as possible. Other tasks were to cut down the shoots of the tree stump and do general weeding.

It was still very hot outside and we got our hands busy with watering everything around. Sol set up a water pipe going, while Lisa attended veggies boxes and watered them plentifully.

The hour went by quickly and soon it was time to wrap up. We are sure the plants were thankful to us for the refreshment.

Friday evening is Goodgym evening at the Community Allotment. The rain had done our watering task for us, but we had some thinning out to do. The young Grenadier apple trees are laden with lots of small fruits, which, if allowed to develop, will be too heavy for the young branches. We removed the majority of the tiny fruit, leaving just a single apple from each cluster. This should ensure the trees continue to develop strongly Jess was in fix-it mode today, adding water to the small pond so that the solar-powered fountain went from a small dribble to a proper water spout. She then noticed that the pumpkin container was flooded and didn't have sufficient drainage. 4 holes were quickly made, and the excess water left to drain away. A quick selfie in our new Goodgym caps, and we said our Goodbyes. Jess was off to run her socks off at Endure 24 and Sheila off to walk the Pembrokeshire coastal path
