Lettuce and corn protected from the marauding birds.

Despite the wind, rain and Covid interventions we have reached the end of another year. He Community Garden is looking great. We have welcomed some new gardeners this year and have enjoyed visits from the children at Martinborough School; Red Cross and other casual visitors who stop by for a chat, or just to see what is going on. Usually, they leave with the first pick of the day’s harvest!

Please remember that all the produce from the garden is FREE and available from the Larder at the Medical centre. We are still amazed, after 4 years that some people still consider that they have to pay, or swap something for what they take.

So Happy Christmas to all. Travel safely if you are travelling. The rest I will say in pictures.
