As spring belatedly arrives, the small community garden in Goresbridge begins to take shape…<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Can you spot the new structure that’s appeared between the beds? We managed to lure Peter back into the garden with his handyman skills and he’s built a lovely arch out of the old posts and wire that we found in the shed last week. We’ll be training the runner beans up and over it in a few weeks time.<\/p>\n

Bridget’s learning how to toil the soil gently with the tip of the spade and knock the lumps of clay out.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Goresbridge<\/a>

It wont be long before the beds are full of flowers and vegetables<\/p><\/div>\n

Inside the polytunnel the warmth has helped the plugs plants to come on. Thankfully we only found a couple of slugs and snails this week so no more seedling\u00a0devastation\u00a0for now.<\/p>\n

\"Goresbridge<\/a>It was suggested on social media that we approach a local pub for their slop bucket to leave in the beer traps (what a great idea!!) but Ann came up trumps with a box full of lager that was three years out of date. We’ve buried jars in all the beds and are now waiting to see if the little\u00a0slimy\u00a0critters take the bait!<\/p>\n

The community garden in Goresbridge is tucked away behind the Respond building in a pretty little cul-de-sac. We’re hoping to attract a few more locals so the\u00a0hard-working\u00a0FAS workers built a few small raised beds for us at the front of the building which we planted salads and potatoes in this week to give them a hint at what we’re doing inside.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had some good news this week too that I won’t be sharing until it’s confirmed. In the meantime the ladies are sowing a couple of trays of tiny seeds “just in case”…<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some people’s rubbish is another’s treasure. In this instance some old windows were donated and we’re planning to build a cold frame in the corner of the garden.<\/p>\n

\"Goresbridge<\/a><\/p>\n

And if you think community gardening is all about gardening, think again. It’s a place for fun, friendship, laughter and companionship too…<\/p>\n

\"Goresbridge<\/a>

Sadly we\u2019ll see none of this out of date beer, but the slugs and snails may die happy.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ll keep you posted on our news…<\/p>\n
