Well what a great start to this half term, the seeds have arrived, Thank you, our children are so excited to get growing, being lucky at our school we garden within our forest school lessons as well a couple of one to one children growing in their own raised beds.

So Thank you again. From Ashton Keynes primary school

Hi just to say a big thanks to CC, we received seeds, can't wait to start growing on the Human Roots allotment, stay tuned for our updates on growing!!

What a joy to see the sun shining today (hope you all had some sun in your part of the country!). Makes us feel spring is finally on its way and we are excited about the new growing season ahead.

Have you started yet or are you still waiting...

What are you going to be growing first?

Keep updating us on your growing journey, we're all in this together!

Hi, a few volunteers met up recently (in wet and cold conditions!) to share out seeds to grow at home, we had one bag left from CC, which as still in date will use direct onto the soil, once warmed up I hasten to add!

Hi there, I might be being really cheeky but will you guys be sending out seeds this year to Human Roots, we just had a planning 'meeting' and the volunteers keen to plant from seed at home, (which is great for Human Roots and gives the volunteers some respsonsibility for the allotment) so before I order seeds I'd thought I'd ask you guys as you kindly given/donated seeds in the past!

Hi there, Human Roots was awarded from the RHS GrownYour Own Award, we couldn't have done it with the help from the seeds you kindly donated/gave to us!

Just got back from a couple of weeks away in Cornwall & Sommerset - the garden has mostly been OK, but the courgettes plants have taken a hit, so trying to revive them, but there are still quite a few courgettes to harvest including this one...

What would you do with this yellow marrow?

Fritters/steaks/in a tart/soup....what's your top recommendation?

Not been posting so much this year, busy with work and even busier in the new garden! Decided to create a pumpkin patch (also butternut squash and courgettes in), white pumpkins look great and my harvest moon! Although the plants have hugely died back so I guess they’re done and dusted in August?! Plenty of pumpkins though! Think next year I’ll try them in the rockery also

Hi there, from the seeds donated by you guys and along with our own sowing, our first bundle of goodies gone off to our local charity Touchpoint for their food share!
