Hi Jenna,

Caroline is coming at 10.30 tomorrow, Sunday. Can you make that too? it would be good if we could all chat together.

Also anyone else in the group ... maybe you don't want to take on a mini-plot but you'd like to be involved from time to time in the monthly 'working together' mornings? If so, why not come tomorrow morning and meet the newcomers? It's going to be a nice sunny day! Nilufer, it would be good to see you as well and hear your plans for your miniplot.

Maggie

Hi Jenna,

Yes, there is space. Would you like to meet in Queens Park on Sunday to have a chat and allocate a space? I have suggested either 11.30 or 3.30 to someone else - Caroline James - and am waiting to hear back from her. Would either or both of those times work for you? Maggie

I have done some more covering with cardboard at the allotment, to keep down the weeds until it's time to plant out some later crops in April and May. I've also planted spring onions in bed 3. It may be a bit too early but we shall see...   The rectangular beds are now planned and spoken for but all the beds that make up the triangle bed are free and most of them are cleared and ready to go. Any more takers?  Maggie

Hi Ian, 

Straw for mulching rows of veg and maybe strawberries if anyone feels like planting them would be great. Can you leave it next to the compost bins? Might you also take on a bed yourself?  Maggie

Hi Caroline James! Would you like to look at the numbered beds and allocate one to yourself? (See also my previous comment, which you can find by scrolling down.) By doing so you will take responsibility for planting that small patch and weeding and watering it throughout the growing season, or arranging for someone else to do it.  I'm available to give support and advice if needed. We're also hoping to have a monthly session when we all try to get together at the allotment. At the moment, there's no-one available to 'lead' or organise a weekly session, so this looser arrangement seems like the way forward.  The rectangular beds are spoken for - Nilufer and I have started planting - but all the triangular segments in the bed next to the cafe outdoor seating area are free, so the thing to do is to take you pick and note your intentions (and later what you plant) on the website.  Great that you want to be involved! 

Anyone else?

Cheers, Maggie

Hi everyone,

I have just been given 5 bales of straw and can drop a couple over to the Queens Park Allotment this week.

Ian.

hi, I have planted some garlic on number 1 bed which I labeled with a stick on the side last week, will do some more next week if the weather permits..Nilufer

That sounds like a good idea Maggie - probably worth marking what has been planted too as far as possible in case it isn't obvious from the discussion.  I think we packed some wooden stakes with the equipment last saturday, and we could easily get or make some more?  One idea that might make it easier to track is to have a separate discussion forum for each of the beds in the forums page on this group  section?
