Hi Chessie!

Yes always room for more hands! The beds are directly behind the Cafe in  Queens Park - facing the Cafe, walk to the left (next to tennis courts) and the beds are on the right behind the Cafe. 

Be great to meet you!

Miko.

Hi Miko! I'd also like to come along to help out this weekend if there's room for more hands? What is the actual address/access route seeing as I havent been before?

Hi Candida,

We could meet this Saturday at 2pm for some work in the allotment?

As to gardener, there is a shop on Chamberlayne Road near the special needs school that you could try. (I have not dealt with them myself)

Let me know if Saturday at 2pm suits you (and anyone else who'd like to come! )?

Bye,

Miko.

Went Saturday to do some clearing up, took down one of the bean wigwams and did some general tidying and weeding.  Horseradish coming up again! Brought some cardboard Sunday (in shed now with bamboo poles from wigwam) that needs to be put on horseradish.

 

Picked some broccoli and sunflowers. 

 

Am busy this Sat learning about soil life (http://www.capitalgrowth.org/training/the_regents_park/) so not going but should be there following Sat.

Will be sorry to see you step back Maggie!

 

Your enthusiasm and knowledge will be missed...

 

Good luck with grandchild and MSc, sounds like you'll be very busy :)

'This is a message for everyone in the food group but especially for the Queens Park Allotment gardeners. Because I am expecting a second grandchild imminently, I will be away for quite a few weekends down in Bristol, looking after the first one and getting to know the new arrival. Also, I'm begun and MSc in Creative Writing and need to put aside time to do my homework! All of this means I need to withdraw from being the front line person at QP Allotment. I will continue to come to Food Group meetings whenever I can and be on hand to help and advise if needed. My enthusiasm is undiminished but I just don't have time for everything right now. Miko and Jessica will continue to fly the flag in Queens Park.'.

Can't make it to the plot today (Wednesday). Nice to welcome Jessica there last Wednesday, who used to work for Project Dirt and is keen to be involved. If you're there today, pick beans and broccolli and do some weeding. Otherwise, see you Saturday ...

good news... weather was nice and picked more yummy beans (and handed some out to interested bystanders)

 

bad news... tomatoes had to be pulled and thrown out as all were infected (blossom end rot?) and pumpkin rotted (slug damage?).  may be couple more pumpkins for harvest festival

 

more good news... killed lots of snails!

 

also planted some mixed salad and did some watering and weeding pulled (more!) horseradish

 

week before covered cardboard with wood chips
