General Meeting, Sun 13 May 2012
A general meeting was held on Sunday, a rare opportunity for plot holders hove their say outside the AGM; a very welcomed development! Apart from the usual day to day stuff there where two main topics raised, The first was whether or not the gates should be locked at all times; the other was the installation of CCTV. More to follow.
Free:-
Armstrong Runner Bean seeds (Stringless Red flowered variety). To quote from Mr Fothergills - "The product of over eight years development, this stringless 'Enorma' type yields heavy crops of long, fine pods of exceptional quality and outstanding flavour." 50g (about 25 seeds) per plot, don't forget to bring an envelope.
Polestar Runner Beans seeds. (Stringless Red flowered variety). To quote Chiltern Seeds "This is a labour-saving variety for lazy cooks! Completely stringless are the bright green, smooth, fleshy, tasty pods it will produce for you making for easy slicing. Early and very high yielding." 50g (about 25 seeds) per plot, don't forget to bring an envelope.
Canadian Wonder Dwarf French Beans. Chiltern Seeds again - "A genuine heirloom originating in Canada sometime prior to 1873, offered in a retail catalogue of 1905 and still available today says something! Being lazy, we'll just give you in full the 1905 description: 'The best variety for general crop, pods long, fleshy, an excellent cropper.' ". 50g (about 60 seeds) per plot, again don't forget to bring an envelope.

SUNDAY 8 MAY 2011 - 11.00AM to 1.00PM - Outside the shop container
Kings Road Entrance
| This is the new security
fencing at the King's Road entrance, which which should help considerably
with security at this access point. Although technically the responsibility
of the Council as landlords this was funded by grants obtained by the
Allotment Soc. who also managed its construction.

|
Apple and Pear Trees
| The Allotment Soc has planted a number of apple and pear trees behind the Shop. Will these attract the attention of scrumpers? earn the wrath of Alexander Drive when they make a 12 - 18 ft high hedge? secure sufficient volunteers to prune and maintain? Who knows? Time will tell. Perhaps the money would have been better spent fixing the holes in the roads. |
