Black potatoes. Look and taste like normal potatoes but a visual treat!

A bit of engineering up at the plot today, fixing a leaky water trough. Good thing we have an engineer on the team. Thanks Steve!

It's been a bit of a mixed weekend but we've managed to make some progress with our raised beds and tyre stack. Lots of seedlings on the go now with plants in the ground. Let the sunshine continue!

There are multiple benefits from working together to grow veg and fruit. We get outdoors which is gentle but valuable physical exercise. Connecting with nature and with each other is good for our mental health too. And of course, there are fresh, nutritious crops to share all year round.

Our plot contains three areas: a polytunnel for germination, seedlings and plants that benefit from warmth and cover, a series of raised beds that are easy to manage and can be used to grow crops in rotation, and a shed, storage and composting area. A table and chairs were kindly donated so that we can take breaks and drink tea. To be fair, we MOSTLY take breaks and drink tea! 😆

The early months of creating our allotment plot, with an emphasis on raised beds and easy ways to grow veg, with minimal digging.

The Shed began life back in the summer of 2021 as part of Let's Talk, Stansted! a community support group for raising awareness about mental health issues and providing education and support. We started with a blank canvas - an unused allotment plot for a newly formed 'Veg Shed' growing project.
