Growing and selling




 The beds and bags we planted with seedlings from Capital Growth's 'Grow to Sell' workshop are now ready for harvest. We made our first sales of 'micro-vege' boxes to local residents Claire and Barbara.

Please let us know if you would like one of our micro boxes delivered fresh to your door by bicycle (think about how fresh you like your vege, and how long the bike ride will be...). Right now we have cavolo nero, spinach, mint, gem lettuce and spring onions on offer. 



Cutest resident?

Our shed had been in pieces for so long waiting for good weather to put it together that a local fox cub had taken up residence. The little guy didn't hang around too long once we started moving her shelter, and we have our fingers crossed she found somewhere more long term to live.



We built a shed!

 The major achievement for our June volunteer workday was putting together the shed we bought of eBay with membership fees. Andy, Emma and Thomas from London Wildlife Trust came along to help as usual, with newcomers Billy and Mateos from UCL also lending a hand. Here are some photos of the construction, and most important BBQ break. The good news is that one month on, the shed is still standing and is nice and dry inside. Good work team!
