Harvesting was no small potatoes
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the OxGrow in Oxford.

Five GoodGymers joined forces with the Oxgrow volunteers for a sunny afternoon of harvesting at the Hogacre community allotment.
We got started watering the veg in the polytunnel and other crops around the allotment, then set to work harvesting potatoes from the very patch that GoodGym weeded a few weeks ago. Some of us had better luck in the small potato hunt than others as we tried to see who could find the smallest potato of them all. Eventually, after much patience and a lot of digging, Angus was happy to finally uncover a few potatoes of his own!
For the rest of the afternoon, GoodGymers helped pick the deliciously ripe raspberries, cut back the thorny brambles, and weeded out some overgrown beds. We were grateful to take some fruits and veg to enjoy at home, and hope to return again soon!
