Miko probably can't make tomorrow (Sat 4th Aug) but I will be there in his place. If you have any seedlings looking for a home, bring them along ...
Hope to see you between 2.00 and 3.00.

No seedlings, unfortunately. I planted some seeds last Sunday but there isn't any seedling yet.
By the way, I've noted that there is no mention about the allotment on the page dedicated to Queen's park on the City of London website. Wouldn't it be good to sk them whether they can mention our allotment? What other members think about this?

Lovely day today in park, looking great lots growing. We did loads of weeding and planted a bit.
Next sunday is Queens Park Residents Association Open Gardens day
http://www.qpark.org.uk/open-gardens/The allotment is part of this this year so I will be there from 1130-6pm.
Any volunteers to give me relief for an hour or so at any times during the day please?Would just involve showing people the plot and telling them what we do.
Also need some leaflets, I have a few.
Also any unwanted seedlings / seeds we could give away.
