OxGrow Oxford's Edible Community Garden

Hard at Work

On Sunday we were back at the OxGrow site after the Easter break, watering all of our lovely plants after the scorching weather and getting stuck into planting some more vegetables and herbs. Although the strawberries were in need of quite a huge amount of water, the potatoes, jerusalem artichokes, shallots and radishes are all coming along nicely. We created two new no-dig beds alongside our potatoes using compost and topsoil and planted seeds such as fennel, kohlrabi and spring onions. The heritage wheat bed was completed by planting rows of quinoa to fill the second half of the triangle. After reviving our broad beans we planted another line along the length of the fence. The day was wonderfully sunny and we took a well-deserved break to re-apply the suncream, re-hydrate, admire our handiwork and munch on some delicious fresh radishes!
