Plenty of spinach to pick in the The Station Pub beds so please come and help yourselves. Just snap the big leaves off at the base of the stalk, take home, wash, chop and gently sautee for a delicous healthy addition to your dinner. There's plenty of sorrell too. Again just pick the leaves. It adds a lovely lemony flavour to a salad. Please help yourselves. It's all free!Photos from Incredible Edible Aireborough's postwww.facebook.com

Had a good session last Sunday pruning the fruit trees in Springfield park. Hopefully they should produce some good fruit. Maybe this year the fruit will be left to ripen before it is picked. Last year all the apples & pears disappeared in summer. Seems like they were all picked by someone who doesn't know they are Autumn fruit. We are thinking of putting up some "Please Leave to Grow" signs this year.Photos from Incredible Edible Aireborough's postwww.facebook.com

We're doing a spot of gardening at the station pub tomorrow from 11.00. From 12.00 we're moving to Springfield park to prune the fruit trees. We're always happy to see new volunteers so do come along. There will be cake! Donated by Season WellPhotos from Incredible Edible Aireborough's postwww.facebook.com

Had a walk up to Parkinson's Park Guiseley this morning and checked on the herb bed. It's been looked after well by Friends of Parkinsons Park and just needed a touch of pruning & weeding. Next month herbs will be ready for folk to snip a little Thyme, Chives, Rosemary or Salad Burnett next time you stroll through the park. Better start taking a pair of scissors on your dog walks!Photos from Incredible Edible Aireborough's postwww.facebook.com

We did some pruning and tidying at our site on Queensway playing fields on Sunday. We have edged the fruit beds with stones to separate the beds from the grass. The stones were donated to us and we need them to stay where they are to help us in our battle against the weeds! If you see anyone removing them could you ask them not to please. A few we put down last time had been taken. We'd rather people came back in summer and helped themselves to some lovely tasty fruit instead!

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
