Most of the plot is now divided into mini-plots, with individuals each taking responsibility for a numbered mini-plot. 'Garden together' events, where as many members as possible come along are posted on the website regularly. Large tools are provided but please bring your own small trowel, fork and gloves. If you are interested in having a mini-plot, please register on the website and post a comment with your enquiry.

Great to see a lot of you up at the plots and to meet the new members, Emily and Owain.

A little update... Since I got home it has become clear that all four of the people on the playground plots would like to come onto the main plot, following serious vandalism over there. It seems like a priority to 're-home' them, so Kirsty, Sally, Tiffany and Barbara are now all going to be joining us on the main site, and for the moment we are not, after all, able to offer space to more refugees - or for that matter to anyone. 

Mick Guerin has chatted to me about space becoming available for plots in the children's zoo later in the year. If this happens, we can revisit the situation then.

This leaves the question of what to do with the four raised - now vacant - beds in the children's playground area. It seems that anything planted there is vulnerable to being ripped out by invading teenagers, as happened last time. Is it worth planting anything - maybe something prickly like gooseberry bushes? Does anyone have a suggestion? 

Happy gardening! Maggie

Sorry to hear that Colm. Get well and I'll meet you there another time. Maggie

Plan this morning is to re-allocate these beds: (1) Leo (opp Kim) and (2) Eve and Jacob (opp Nilufer), as I haven't heard from any of them for more than a year. If anyone has reason to think this shouldn't happen, please comment now or text me on 07986599848. Thanks Maggie

Hi Maggie, sorry to say I'm in bed with the flu so won't be there - hopefully we can meet at another stage soon?

Just a reminder that I'll be at the allotments in a hour. Looking forward to seeing some of you there.

Colm, I didn't hear back from you but hope you can come so that we can formally allocate you your plot and show you the tools and the shed. 

Cheers, Maggie
