Lovely sunshine for most of today. Nursery kids having fun pretending to be pollinators looking for different colours of flowers in the garden 🐝Beds are filling up with Autumn seedlings 🌱 Learner Plotters and Little Growers sowing more peashoots, radishes and winter salads. Harvesting chard, spinach, carrots, salad leaves, tomatoes, aubergines, chillies and so many beans.. And one cucamelon was harvested and eaten by a Little Grower👌 Thanks to our new and regular volunteers today, great job of digging up and transplanting the hop plants to a new position, hope they like it🤞#communitygardens #communitygardening #Streatham #volunteering #londongardens #urbangrowing #foodgrowing #wellbeing #nature

Late season first cucamelon for one of our Little Growers today 🎉 Looks like a tiny watermelon, size of a grape, tastes like a cucumber, what more could you want? 🤪 Also first signs of blight affecting our potatoes and tomatoes unfortunately.. Luckily we've had a lot of both crops already. Lots of volunteer gardeners today from the nursery kids measuring the yard long beans first thing to many others weeding and watering by can the rest of the day. The demonstration 'small space'plot trombacino is breaking records as the weeks go on, come and have a look! Also lots of chilli and bell peppers. Have a good week everyone #communitygardens #streathamcommoncommunitygarden #Streatham #growyourown #organicveggies #organicgrowing #smallspacegardening #balconygardening #londongardens

Great day in the garden with lots of volunteers and delicious pizzas with herbs and veg grown in the garden, and salad leaves + edible flowers yum. Thanks to all the #LittleGrowers and #learnerplotters who brought delicious food to share 🌞🌻 #communitygardens #communitygardening #Streatham

So many beans.. First trombacino harvested from the Small Space demonstration plot, great for growing vertically up a wall/front of a building. Rhubarb, figs, apples, rainbow chard, kale and much more... Thanks to the kids from @cavendish_lodge_nursery who had fun in the garden this morning watering and harvesting, and also to the @southlondoncares gardening group, who with other volunteers, cut the remaining hops and composted the rest of the plant in its annual cut down. We're transforming the perennial bed as a next project and the hops are changing location. Plenty of work to do on Sunday, come and visit, volunteer or pick up some plants, veg or fruit, open 11am til 3pm #communitygardens #communitygardening #Streatham #getoutside #freshair #gardeningtherapy #growyourown #community #londongardens #lambeth #london

Busy day weeding and sowing autumn and winter greens following recent rainfall. Some tomatoes have suffered, splitting in the heavier rain ☔ Our Little Growers were having great fun imagining all sorts of creatures living in our topped up pond 🦈🤷‍♀️
Some photos from the @growbeerproject weigh-in for our hop harvest last week @friendshipadventure 2.8kg 👍🏽

Hop harvest time for @growbeerproject #brixtonbeercompany weigh in tomorrow. Hops across Lambeth are harvested collectively and turned into beer by @friendshipadventure @annbodkin this year. Lovely rain today good for weeding and then sowing winter greens in the sunshine, look forward to Vivid Choi, Green Waves, Purple Wave, Winter Purslane and Oak Choi in autumn and winter. Check out the trombacino squash grown by our Demonstration plotters😍
