Hello Plotholders Back to the rain !! 1. Don't forget the Pest Control meeting, to be held in the club on February 21st. This will be run by Bob Tyler. Please come along. 2. Please remember bonfires are are not allowed until March when they can be used to destroy "diseased crops" 3. Honey for sale. Down to the last jar. 4. Boundary repair. They started early, and the fence at the top of the site and the boards near the main gate have been now been replaced by palisade fencing. The new welded mesh fence at the bottom of the site (roadway by plots 1-8) has been installed. Next Tuesday they will start on the hedges at the northern boundary. Thanks go to those people who have responded to Haydn's letter and cleared the hedgelines and removed barbed wire etc but there is still some work needed. Don't forget, if they can't get access to your hedge, it will not be trimmed and gaps will not be filled in. 5. Seeds. If you haven't yet got your seeds sorted out you could have a look at http://www.vegetableseeds.net (I've added a link at the top of the page)- "a great value supplier of vegetable seeds to UK allotmenteers!" In addition to being the cheapest seeds around (according to their survey), they also offer allotment societies a 10% discount. I've applied for the discount code and will let you have it when I get it. 6. Seed potatoes are in. Foremost (1E), Kestrel (2E), Wilja (2E), Desiree (Main) and Picasso (Main). All at 70p/kilo. The competition potato this year will be Desiree. 7. Planner. Haydn has drawn up the planner for 2012. Have a look and make a note of key events in that nice new diary. Some of the dates are still provisional but I'll update it when we get the information. 8. Emergency contacts. An enquiry was made regarding emergency contact details. I sent these out via a separate email. They are also shown on the notice boards. 9. Shed price list. I've done a new price list. At the moment there are no price increases from the previous one (July 2011) and we remain very competitive.
That's all for now.
Mike If you have anything to say/report/complain about etc. please see a committee member, send a letter/email or come along to the meetings. February 20th: Committee meeting. February 21st Pest Control meeting All other events are shown on the year planner
