As part of the July Members Meeting, we spent some time giving our site some love. Armed with rosettes, we all chose our favourite spot on the Go Local Food fields at Ovington. We found some new spots. And rooted around areas we haven’t seen for a while! Best of all, we saw a whole rainbow of affection for our fields and sheds…
Some people loved the places to rest, others chose the spot where they learnt a new skill. There were favourite veg and the best spots to catch up with other members. There was thanks for members who kept Willowmena and her barrow looking so good and a lot of love for the sheds, water systems and the tools of our trade (even the seed catalogue!).
Two spots came out on top, the tomato polytunnel with three rosettes and (drum roll) with four rosettes, the winning spot was… the gate with the netted beds and the Tyne Valley stretching out beyond. Apparently best of all there, is the gate post you can lean on after some hearty digging!
It was so lovely to hear why members prized each spot. Lots of memories of events shared, wisdom passed on and member catch ups.
