November 2009 Photos
Progress as crops decrease through sales Monday 9th November 2009 Claire Littlejohn, Heather Bryant, Hattie Winter and Andrew. Hattie has come to see the Project for the first time and was impressed with what we have achieved, being very surprised at what we have achieved in only one season !
Doug, Liz, Sandra - with Helen behind her! - and John and George in the very misty distance (to the right !).
Helen, Sandra and Andrew harvesting more of the dwindling curly kale.
Deep in discussion with Hattie who is very keen to help provide advice and channels of any support that's available to Tatworth Growing Together via the Blackdown Hills “Making it Local Fund”.
Bob, George and John clearing the sunflower patch now that they are dying off and the runner beans have all gone to the shops. Notice the huge bale of straw that Julia brought up with Trevor on Sunday 8th. This is to cover the cardboard and paths.
You can see some brussels sprouts developing amongst the last of the curly kale.
Helen arrives with a bag to start harvesting the huckleberries (they sold quite well at the Post Office).
Peter swinging a mattock and happy to be back in action at the Project again !
Bob too !
A view from the former shallots patch now under mulch. Further up the pallets kindly donated by Darren of Brookvale Homes hold the sheets of cardboard down.
Picking and tasting huckleberries.
Sandra and Andrew join John to clear sunflowers.
