Hello , got to plot this afternoon for a couple of hours , we had a really bad frost just before we went a way , so the main Dalia bed needed cutting down and mulching , still got some more to do , hoping to pop to plot again tomorrow
GWRS that is ok tea and biscuits on here, but what about the digging
Went to the plot today small bit of digging and then planting bulbs in bulb planter pots so I can move them after finished if not planted in right place - going to use some as cut flowers
We don't have a shop but do have a picnic area and bar b cue.
A plant sale and coffee morning sound good, we are a member of a national Allotment association and can get discount seeds from some companies there maybe other benefits , I'd like to progress that.
Zoomer Plant swap, B&Q wastage scheme which lets allotments in , our allotment does raffles
Went to the tip with some garden waste from the allotment as at min have to go past the tip all the time to get to the allotment site
Someone over night has fly tipped a pile of manly garden waste but big stuff, onto a plot which has not been really worked yet and some on the road must of been a lorry tipper what a mess

nice watching the birds around the plot
Hi you guys. Went to the allotment association meeting this evening. It went well. I'm going to attend the next one.
Juries still out about being more active. I'd like to help develop a sense of community any suggestions you guys...
Zoomer do you have a area like a shop or shed? where you all can go have a drink
What about any little bits around the site get planted up
Bake sale, plant sale coffee morning, Glad you liked the meeting and you can attend another

Zoomer , one year we got free trees ? from woodland trust to plant in hedgerows , lots of people help , Also once a year a general tidy up
If you have a vacant plot , see if a school wants it ?

The boundary fence is always in need of new hedging, contacting the woodland trust is a good idea.
Gg. What is the B&Q wastage scheme?
Can't believe the cheek of people fly tipping. Someone left a Formica work top outside my plot.
