Sow & Grow 2025

In 2024 we had a bumper harvest at MOP, growing peas, beans, chard, tomatoes, pumpkin, squash, patty pan, courgettes, strawberries, garlic, onions and lots more fresh herbs, and leafy greens and salads.

We are currently planning for the upcoming growing season so we can hit the ground running and get a good start in 2025! What would you like to grow or more importantly what would you like to eat?

Capital Growth – Good to Grow

Urban Harvest 2025

Last year we had a stupendous display of spring bulbs and the nasturtiums and phacelia made for a beautiful display, a real buzz of carder, bumble and honeybees enjoying them too!

Green manures help to regenerate soil whilst also providing a beautiful and pollinator friendly source of nectar and pollen too.

Potatoes are easy and the digging, earthing up and mulching helps to work and break up compacted soil, we also had a good result with hugelkultur, really helping to retain moisture in the soil during the height of summer.

Limited rainwater storage capacity required our volunteers to bring water in from off site, extra 205 litre HDPE containers are now on site to help increase storage capacity.
