The pictures below were taken by Fiona Clapperton during their Work Day on Saturday 2 August.
The magnificent pumpkin was the first to be harvested. There is a bit of special significance to pumpkins as Kamil used one of his own as a prop at the Southend Soup last October where the allotment was the successful winner of the funds. Now they have one grown on the plot and they are in need of funds again.
They have started doing the pathways with this lovely donated shingle and it looks fantastic but they need to buy some more to finish it off.
They are going to auction off this pumpkin to fund more shingle so please dig deep. The Auction will run until Friday 08/08/14 12pm so there is plenty of time to get your bids in. It will be run on Facebook as well and they will monitor bids and update on each site. If you are the successful bidder they will be at the site next Saturday if you would like to visit and pick up your pumpkin; otherwise they can arrange to deliver it.
