Incredible Edible Aireborough

The sun is shining and it's a great weekend for gardening. We're going to be doing a little gardening on our plot on Queensway playing fields on Sunday from 11.00. If you'd like to join us you'd be most welcome. Oh and if anyone has any weed membrane or fruit bushes going spare we'd be ever so grateful for them.

Big thank you to Incredible Edible Brighouse for their hospitality yesterday. We were show around their impressively numerous growing sites around the town and treated to a delicious lunch. We even left with gifts of shampoo made with their own lavender! We are so impressed with what they are achieving and have ideas to bring back to Aireborough. It was very wet and windy so we didn't take many photos but here are some of their brilliant "Bridge End Community Garden" lots of greens growing in a Yorkshire winterPhotos from Incredible Edible Aireborough's postwww.facebook.com

Nice to see that Simon He who visited us in the summer is getting growing on his University campus in Germany.

Great to be out despite the rain this morning helping The Friends of Nunroyd Park plant their orchard. We were in charge of soft fruit and planted rhubarb, loganberry and gooseberry. 2 blackcurrants, a josterberry and another gooseberry left for the eco warriors from Yeadon Westfield Infant School to plant next week. Pear, apple, plum & cherry tree all planted too.Photos from Incredible Edible Aireborough's postwww.facebook.com

Lovely gardening session on Sunday at the refurbished garden at The Station Pub. Our edible garden is looking good too. Still plenty of chard. Kale and herbs to pick. Just look out for our "ready to pick now" signs and help yourselves. Pick the big leaves from the bottom of their stalks for the chard & kale and cut the tops of the herbs. A pair of scissors would be useful but sharp fingernails will do!Photos from Incredible Edible Aireborough's postwww.facebook.com

We'll be gardening again at the Station Pub from 11 am tomorrow morning. We need to get our veg beds ready for winter. Do come along and join us- All welcome whatever your gardening experience. There may well be greens to pick too
