Community Garden in autumn
by Rebecca Blackman
It’s been a busy autumn in South Molton Community Garden so far. We’ve been tidying up and getting ready to put everything to bed for the winter.
Our ‘Big Soup’ team day was held during October and we had a very productive session working on the composting area (photo right). The compost bins were moved along to allow more space around the pond, and we’re planning to level out the ground in front of the compost bins to make them easier for everyone to access. We had a good catch up and shared some delicious soup!
The potatoes are out of the ground and we had a fantastic crop with barely any slug damage. Our bean poles suffered in the recent strong winds. Luckily, the beans were nearly finished so it didn’t affect the harvest. We’ve enjoyed sweetcorn and the last of the raspberries this month.
We welcome new members. If you’d like to join us, visit the garden on a Thursday at 2pm (weather permitting). Alternatively, see our website: southmoltoncommunitygarden.co.uk or Facebook @southmoltoncommunitygarden
