Helen's broadbeans 'Aquadulce Claudia' handled the 40mph winds well yesterday 🌀 Sown in November the beautiful flowers are beginning to set pods. Some of our Wednesday Little Growers were very excited about the high worm count in their plots 😊 First apricots spotted 🍊 Building success of a new plant trolley 💪🏽 Learner plotters busy seed sowing and weeding #communitygardensofinstagram #communitygrowing #communitygardening #communitygardens #streathamcommoncommunitygarden #streatham #organicveggies #urbanfoodgrowing

Still no proper rain! We're watering way more than normal for April and the water butts need filling, c'mon the rain 🌧️ 🌱 Great day with some of our Little Growers who have started on site finding surprise potatoes in their plots from last year 😮 Lots of seedlings grown on windowsills at home coming out to the garden now, others holding off a bit longer til temperatures go up/are more consistent. 🌱 Our Learner plotters are filling up their plots + swapping seedlings. Elsewhere in the communal beds chickpeas are out, fruit garden in full blossom. Don't worry if you haven't sown any seeds yet, we're just coming into the perfect time for most 👍🏽 #communitygardening #communitygardens #foodgrowing #streatham #LittleGrowers #learnerplotters #streathamcommoncommunitygarden #organicgrowing #urbanfoodgrowing #london #nationalgardeningweek

Proud Learner plotters with their seedlings 🌞👏🌱 Today busy watering + building a new brassica cage in the communal beds, covering learner plot beds with hoop support and netting to stop foxes digging up seedlings. Apple blossom looking beautiful + hops have doubled in size in the last week. 🌱 Two of our Little Growers have sown sunflowers, salad, basil in their plots and have definitely caught the gardening bug, love this guide to what's in their gardening backpack👌 Love this new collage for our tea table, made by one of our Trustees, made of old seed packets, tea and biscuits ☕#communitygrowing #communitygardensofinstagram #communitygardening #foodgrowing #urbangardens #organicveggies #LittleGrowers #learnerplotters #streathamcommoncommunitygarden #streatham #lambethfoodgrowing

Busy day in the garden with seed sowing workshops

Busy day in the garden with seed sowing workshops for the new Learner Plotters. Sowing directly in plots, backed up by indoor windowsill sowing to get a head start and protect seedlings from pests and v changeable temperatures. Structures for climbers being built, pollinating by paintbrush, and some of our Little Growers sowing seeds in their plots. Fruit garden has exploded with new growth 🍎🍐🍒🍑#communitygardens #communitygardening #streathamcommoncommunitygarden #Streatham #seedsowing #organicgrowing

Busy day at the garden 🌱🌞 Our new Learner Plotters are getting stuck in planting out seedlings from home and planning +prepping their plots. Also our Little Growers Club started today, with 7-11 year olds picking up their growing kits. Big thanks to @higgidy for supporting the Little Growers Club project + @mr_organic for tomato seed donations 👏👏🍅🍅 #communitygardens #seedsofchange #Streatham #foodgrowing #communitygardening #newskills #urbanfoodgrowing #urbangrowing

New growing season officially launched as some of our lovely new Learner Plotters started today 🌱 We had a big response to our project this year and have a waiting list for those who didn't get a plot this year. Exciting to start with a blank canvas of a 1m x 4m plot or raised bed. Todays plotters were measuring, planning + creating plot design for the year ahead. Thinking about what they want to grow and spacings and timings.
