OPEN MEETING CHANGE OF DATE

DATE: THURSDAY 2ND MAY
VENUE: DULCIMER, WILBRAHAM ROAD, CHORLTON
TIME:7.30PM

All welcome.  Come along and find out a bit more about The Lost Plot and meet those of us already involved.

Sunday is our normal meeting day, but from now on, there should be someone down at the Plot on Thursday evenings too.

Anything you want to grow?  Don't have a polytunnel or greenhouse? Then why not come and join us at the Lost Plot and you can grow things uncover to your heart's content...

Sunshine at last!

Fabulous day at the allotment.  The heat inside the polytunnel was tremendous and the salads are really coming on.

First go at planting the potatoes - first earlies and salad blue have gone in, but there's plenty more for next week, including the gorgeous pink fir apples.

The Plot is looking very neat and tidy in parts, but we still need to get to grips with the permanent asparagus bed. I've been saying it for ages - years? - but this year I'm determined, let's get it prepped and cleared and put those crowns in. Thereafter, glorious asparagus tips year on year on year...
Sorry drifted off.


OPEN MEETING
THURSDAY 25 APRIL
7.30PM
DULCIMER
WILBRAHAM ROAD, CHORLTON

Come along and hear what we get up to and see if you'd like to join our Community Allotment.

Spring is a-coming!

Another glorious day. Perhaps Spring really is coming.

Easter weekend provided an opportunity for two of us to get some fresh air and exercise and get some more beds turned over.

No matter how many times we dig, we're still finding jerusalem artichokes: lovely pink round ones and longer thinner ones, like pink fir apple potatoes.  A lovely addition to a veg soup or broth, but we need more people to eat them, not just admire them.

Polytunnel is earning its keep providing gorgeously fresh winter in snow leaves, parsley and the first rocket!

It's also doing the job of helping warmth loving seeds germinate and bringing some seedlings on.

Tomorrow is another chance to come along and have a dig and get sorted for the new growing year. On the menu will be putting in potatoes, more digging over of beds and creating an asparagus bed. Herb spiral still needs attention and the pond could do with a clean.

See you down at the Lost Plot from 1pm onwards.  We need to have a meeting to sort out who's doing what this year and new members are always welcome.
