Hello Maggie,

I am buying some seeds and need some advice please :)

What best grows from seeds? I am getting some lettuce(that by experience grows really well ) and maybe spring onions? Do you still have some potatoes?

Hope to see you soon and start planting.

All the best

Barbara

Hi Maggie,

Thanks for the note about completing the survey and the new capital growth plot sign.

I am planning to did my plot and remove more Horseraddish this Wednesday and will try to catch up with Richard this week re the hose pipe install.

Cheers,

Ian.

hI Maggie,

How are you? That sounds great, we stayed in portugal for a bit longer as the weather was nice and just returned to Uk a few days ago. I need t get some time to think what to plant, probabbly some potatoes/onions etc and will be coming soon to have a look at the plots, hard to juggle uni and baby but will find time :) . Hope you all well x

This one for Barbara...

I've taken away the path between our plots, Barbara, and replaced it with some plastic netting that will support the peas I've planted if they decide to grow! I hope that's all right with you. I thought it would be a clear enough divide and give us both a bit more space.  Hope to see you up there sometime. Maggie

Hi all and great to see you last Saturday and work together to sort out the plots for the new season. As the person for whom we quickly set up a bed at last year's Big Dig hasn't reappeared, I've now planted that bed - small wedge-shaped plot opposite the raised beds - with chard and potatoes for all to share.  Still working on hose/watering issue - to be continued...  If we need help to install the fixed run of hose Richard and I have agreed on, would anyone (preferably someone handy with hose cllps, fixings etc and comfortable working on a ladder) be able to spare a few hours? It will make such a difference if/when a dry spell arrives.  Away for next couple of weeks. Happy Easter to all...

Hello - I am a new member and got to meet some of you briefly last weekend.

Hope to meet you all over the next few months.

Thanks Maggie, Phil and Richard for helping with making up the space - I really appreciate your hard work and effort!

Great 'Big Dig' day last weekend! Hive of activity and brilliant atmosphere. Thanks to all who came and to Richard for the Park's support and the welcome refreshments! I will be popping up between showers at the weekend to plant a few potatoes at the front of my plot. I have some spares. Would anyone like them? If so, text me to fine-tune a time when we see what the weather's doing. 07986 599848

I'm away for two weeks in April and two in May. Will post a 'Garden Together' date in second half of May. I'll have squash and courgette seedlings to hand out then, unless they die during my absence! Meanwhile happy gardening!  Maggie

I'm going to plant some potatoes as well, Julienne! The herbs will have to be planted out a bit later I think, in case of any late frosts...

I have some pieces of patio board - quite short but useful for making and repairing paths. Would anyone with a car (I don't have one) be willing to help me get them to the plot between now and the 21st?

Richard has had the conifer removed from the corner and I'm thinking that if anyone wants to move large herb or flower bushes out of their plot to give more space for growing, they could be moved on the 21st into the space vacated by the tree.

Meeting Richard tomorrow and will report back on any progress on the watering issue.

Looking forward to seeing you all and getting started again. Maggie

Dear Maggie,

Looking forward to coming along on March 21st for the Big Dig.

Have bought some seed potatoes which are in a chitting tray at present, ready to plant on the 21st. I have a rhubarb crown which I also want to plant in my section. If space allows, I would like to put in a few of your herb plants as well?

All the best, Julienne

Conifer now gone, thanks to Richard and his team! I'm meeting Richard next Friday at 4.00 at the cafe to talk about watering and hope to find some solution for the coming summer.  Looking forward to seeing you all again on March 21st for the Big Dig.  Maggie
