2nd December - The Vegtable Garden

The following are pictures of the vegtable garden looked after by one of the small groups the Cooperative help. They grow pumpkins for the fruit and leave, tomatoes, herbs and various other vegtables for them to eat themselves and to sell the surplus. They are very proud of their success. 2010 they made Kw150000 (about £20) and rewarded themselves with new dinner plates for each member. 2011 so far have made around Kw175000 that they are keeping to reinvest. When I asked them what one thing would they want that would make the biggest difference the reply after some thought was a hosepipe to run from the pump to the garden to save them having to carry all the water - they could then spend the time extending the garden. They were great people so proud to show me what they had done. Fantastic.
