First harvest at the Daily Bread Space

The Daily Bread Space is lush and the plants are growing wonderfully! We had a first harvest of chard and herbs we put in a basket for free… and the courgettes will be ready soon. Hopefully we will have a basket with the harvest every Saturday during summer 🙂

Daily Bread Space creation

We had a great time creating this new wonderful Space in front of Daily Bread.

Thanks a lot to everyone for your help. It would not have been possible without you!

A more detailled note on how we have filled the beds in a permaculture way will come soon…

Soil cover session at the Wycliffe Fruit Aisle space (1)

On the 20th of May, we went to the Wycliffe Fruit Aisle space to cover the soil with cardboards/newspapers and a special soil conditioner. The aim is to prevent the growth of weeds around the bushes. Especially the growth of the nettles that are quite persevering!
About 1/3 of the space is covered now. Thanks Rosie and Ivan for your good job! The next session is coming soon… 😉

Raspberry bushes planting at George IV Street Geometric

We planted 3 raspberry bushes in the George IV Street geometric space and added signs. The strawberries survived winter and are starting to grow. This space will be really wonderful during summer! The next step will be to add more shade and dry tolerant plants over spring/summer. It can be annuals or perennials, edible plants or wildlife friendly flowers. If you have any idea send us an email : admin@growingspaces.org
