Produce for Sale and Willow to Weave

 This week we picked lots of runner beans - and managed to sell them all to members of staff!  This raised £14 for the club and we hope to pick more again next week too.  We will freeze some for our Christmas dinner of course!
We also trimmed the willow seat, stripped the leaves from the twigs and...
 ...used them to weave a small edging panel on one of the raised beds...
...this will help to contain taller plants as they grow in future.  We also re-planted some sticks into the edge of the willow seat, to help thicken it out next year.
 We also harvested the enormous seed pod from our snakes-head lily.  Each little green and white piece contains anything from one to four or even five white seeds!
We are slowly gathering the seeds to dry and will try germinating some next spring.
