Abby and Rosie visited a very sunny North End gardens. After a bit of weeding and only a small amount of litter picking needed, we prepared the soil for our seeds.

We had seeds to sew as part of the RHS Grow With It, Big Seed Sow community project (watch this space for the Big Seed Save event inthe Autumn).

This years focus is water usage so all our seeds should cope well in dry conditons. We had Californian poppies, Love-lies-bleeding, Cosmos 'Candy Stripe', Rudbeckia and Fennel.

We then watered with collected rain water.

Looking forward to seeing how they do over the next few months!

Wait? thats star trek right? 🚀 Well the quote fits our adventure!

Jane and I joined the final straw beach clean in Eastney this morning to celebrate May the 4th (be with you, and with you). We started in the usual places, clearing the small bits of plastic on the beach and the stinky dog poo bag and then headed 'to the dark side' (over the road). We managed to take a (not) shortcut into a lovely muddy area, no rolled ankles luckily...

After getting back to the path and a short battle with a bag we had the interesting finds of a lantern and the classic one sock. Having collected a good haul we headed back to base to hand in the finds for the final straw team to sort into recyclables.
