Today, Volunteer Tuesday, we helped to clear out one of the poly tunnels so it can be prepared for winter planting. Between us, we cleared the aubergine and tomato plants and harvested all the basil.  The basil has gone to each of today’s volunteers and many of us are making fresh pesto this evening.

It has been a stormy day with bursts of very heavy rain and thunder interspersed with blue skies and sunshine. There were moments over a delicious lunch of Spicy Pumpkin soup made by volunteers when we couldn’t hear ourselves speak!

So I made pesto too and tonight we’ll have Pesto Pasta.
