GrowAbility: Wednesday 6th August 2025

Another beautiful day at our GrowAbility club - after our welcome cuppa (thank you Lisa!) the team got to watering the plot - from top to bottom everything got a good drink. We helped to tame some tomato plants, a bit of weeding and then time to harvest. Lisa took a group over to the new plot to harvest some potatoes - they’re beautiful - red skinned and quite big! Look at the planter of gorgeous lettuce planted from seed by our lovely Charis.

For our harvest and taste healthy eating session today we gathered lettuce, tomatoes, green pepper, a cucumber, and a beetroot. Lisa and Barry cut some Basil - Lisa explained how cutting sprigs the right way means a bigger plant and more basil! With some extra bits like mayo, chicken, grated cheese mashed chickpeas and jalapeños we had great fun creating our own wraps full of goodness - everyone agreed much better than the supermarket and at a fraction of the price! All in all a wonderful day.

Thank you Essex Community Foundation for continuing to support our project which does so much good in so many ways!
