We don’t give to receive but it’s nice to

Earlier this year we were very kindly given some Comfrey roots by our gardening friend Ruth as the plants we did have went to pot when the new fence got put in. Before then we were regularly giving out Comfrey liquid as it’s super stuff but as we had no Comfrey we had nothing to give out.

Those roots have now grown into a nice plant and we’ve been constantly pulling off the leaves and letting them soak in a old bucket with a little water and now have some great plant feed ready. Here’s the first batch we gave out earlier today (below).

As if by magic this afternoon we were given two very healthy looking pepper plants which we’ll be putting in the ground tomorrow. We’re great believers in giving out stuff to people and you never know, you may receive something out of the blue. Keep the old circle a turning as they say!

Permaculture in SE8

A big thanks to our friend Ruth who lets us know of a great course called Connect with Nature – The Basics of Permaculture on Friday 17th March 2023 from 11.00am to 1.30pm. You’ll learn about the building blocks of Permaculture design and how to apply it in everyday life, something we here would be very much into and it’s at a great price of £20 as well. It takes place at John Evelyn Community Garden, Windlass Place, London SE8 3QZ. More on the course and how to apply here.
