Homegrown Veg Pledge
If anyone feeling is brave then join our pledge to eat more homegrown this year.
My personal aim to eat something homegrown (from my garden, friends/neighbours/Grozone/forgaging) for at least one meal at day - so it might be raspberries on my cereal, lettuce on my sandwich, herbs in an omlette, vegetables with my main meal, for five days a week, from the start of the growing season - middle of May until October.
The point of this is to try and be growing more in the garden, explore recipes, reduce food miles and up vitamin intake as well as eating more seasonally.
You can be as ambitious as you want with your pledge - start when you want and do as many days and meals as you feel is achievable. Join in, and let us know what you are growing and eating and share ideas!
You could print off the picture and stick it up on the fridge with your aims on it to remind you!
Grozone Currant Bush Corner
Outside the gates of Grozone, accessible to everyone is a small set of shelves with young redcurrant and blackcurrant bushes on.
Please help yourselves to a bush, there are plenty so when the shelves empty they can be replenished. Plant it out in your own garden, repot it into a bigger vessel so it can grow or plant it somewhere unloved that would benefit from the fruit and flowers the bush will bring.
Grozone Pea Competition 2021
If you want to join in with the competition please email your address to Caroline on caroline.rose@groundwork.org.uk and you will receive some pea seeds. Anyone can enter.
The categories for the competition are:
1) Tallest Pea Plant
2) Plant with the most peas on it
3) Pea pod with the most peas in
The variety is "Lord Leicester" a heritage variety which we grew with great success at Grozone in 2019. They are heavy croppers and delicious peas.
The pea seeds will come with basic planting instructions but feel free to grow as you feel best!
Please only enter the pea seeds your are sent to the competition so that it is fair! But don't let this stop you growing all sorts of exciting peas and beans alongside your competition winners!!!
