The Poly Tunnel gets a new home

Hi All

We thought you might like to see the new home the poly tunnel went to. Excellent repurposing. The sheep look happy!

Bonfire on the Allotment 5th November 2pm

Hello Everyone

Hope you are all enjoying the crisp Autumnal weather. Guy Fawkes night has come upon us with haste, so this year we won't be able to have a full scale allotment bonfire gathering as previously discussed. 

However, if you do have timber, garden rubbish and other safe combustibles from your plots, the plan is to have a fire on Margaret's plot at 2pm on 5th November.

You can leave this material tidily at the side of the track through the allotments or adjacent to Margaret's, who is on plot 19.

If anyone is able to help Charlie, Ian, Paul and Brian create the pyre, then your help would be appreciated. Just arrive earlier than 2pm on the 5th to pitch in.

Many thanks in advance

Mel

Butterflies Galore!

The glorious weather over the long weekend made any serious work at the Allotment a bit uncomfortable, but it was perfect for butterflies. We hope you enjoy this selection of photo's taken at the Allotment site in the glorious sunshine last week.

Hello Plot holders

It's June and the allotment is really beginning to burst into life.

This week we have updated the photos and recipes section after we were blown away by Ann's floral display on 13a and were treated to some of Robyn's allotment fare.

Do send us your plot photos and recipes too.

Happy cultivating!

Hi All

The skips will be arriving tomorrow. Please do not use them for anything  apart from the following from your plots:

Plastic
