The office was open to allow members to renew their annual subscriptions and borrow books from our gardening library, and there was even a wonderful lunch provided by our resident Delia and Nigella, aka Avril and Susan....

| Enjoying sunshine, lunch and good company at the Potato Weekend |
It was lovely to see so many of you taking advantage of the lovely sunny weather and coming along to renew your subscriptions, stock up on your goodies for your raised beds and get cracking on starting afresh for the new growing season. The lovely weather meant that the volunteers also had the chance to plant sixteen new gooseberry bushes in the soft-fruit area on Sunday - check them out the next time you visit.
For those of you who were unable to make it, although we are now out of seed potatoes I have been assured by the polytunnel team that more peas and beans will be available in the next few weeks. There is plenty of rock dust and organic fertiliser still available, and don't forget that there is free worm cast available (1 bag per bed, half a bag for a half bed, please, to ensure there is enough for everyone).
Just a reminder - Annual subscriptions are due on April 1st 2011!!! Costs are the same as last year....
Happy gardening, and enjoy this lovely sunshine!
