Yes that is the bit I don't understand,I know his website and what he is trying to do on it,but he is he wanting us to tell him he should go. If that is it, then yes, go for it JRP, that is my feeling. If they have sent you a defiante invitation I certainly think you should go, XX Jeannine

Ah yes, I see now. I thought you had a definate invite and I couldn't understand why you would hesitate if it's what you want to do.
I know I'd go for it in your place JRP ;)

I would have thought anybody would be happy to apply, although maybe the expense would be a no go for some people (?) Go for it.

;D Hi ALL, what a great day we had yesterday the 9th, when I exhibited my two projects off to lots of people who had come to our Mottingham Fete SE9. It was worm with a cool breeze but no rain even though we had a few rain clouds pass over what was going on. I managed to get into my 4 door car with a lift up window and boot one brokendown pallet section into the back of my car, along with 70 crops in their containers on their carrying beams, plus extra bags of containers too, and 10-8ft bean cane plus a 8ft-4ft folded up full size drawing of my own allotment plot I did to show others what my plot looked like from above. I've been taking lots of photos of what I've been doing lately which I will be adding to my website soon, which will be mostly of my Community project this time which you may also like to try. I will be starting another project at our local Church soon, which will also be about growing things in containers vertically with the help of Age Concern, hopefully going all the way along a 25ft length of metal fencing they have alongside a walkway at the side of the church, which the old folk can use to grow things. We are also having a open day at the Mottingham Community Learning Centre-Shop on Friday the 15th from 12am until 7pm, which will also help to promote the way we grow things, and it will also help to promote what the Learning Shop as to offer to the local community too. I will give you another update soon, in the mean time. ;D
May you and yours and what you grow live long and happy. John. J.R.P.

I've been a bit perturbed about the amount of plastic milk-cartons I've had to take to the recycling place recently.

So I've signed up to the local milk delivery place that delivers it in GLASS bottles that I can give them back.

I'm also a bit reticent to grow my lovely veg in a plastic container.

All very well if it's going to benefit people who can't grow veg elsewhere (as in soil etc) but I'd rather not surround my potatoes with a semi-opaque excuse for a milk-bottle.

I CAN ORDER MILK WITHOUT GETTING IT DELIVERED IN PLASTIC CARTONS? CAN YOU?

Trixiebelle · « **Reply #236 on:** June 10, 2007, 19:40:58 »

May your milk live long in the fridge and your yogurts be free of bacteria

;D HI ALL, on Friday the 15-6-2007 was our open day, which was at our Mottingham Community Learning Centre-Shop, Cranley Parade, Beaconsfield Road, London SE9, for people to come and see what's on offer. I had lots of interest shown in our Reuse of waste plastic containers idea to grow things in, which we have going all the way around the edge of our back yard area. With this in mind I'm now in the process of putting lots of new photos onto my website www.recycling.moonfruit.com to cover my 2nd new project, which we have up and running now, with another one starting just around the corner at our local Church St. Andrews sometime next week, which I will also be adding some photos of once we have start it The Sad News is after us having a good day with lots of people calling in to see us, we were then told that the Bromley Council said that they will be shutting the Community Learning Centre-Shop down because of the lack of funds at the end of the month, so we have now started a petition up, which we are asking people to sign to help stop this from happening in the future. :( In the mean time may you and yours and what you grow live long and happy. John. J.R.P.
