Littleover Lane Allotments, Derby, Open Day Sunday 11th September

[Deb P]

Just a quick plug for our only Open Day this year, next Sunday 11th September 11am-5pm.

Part of the 'yellow book' National Garden Scheme, entry fees (£3 adults, kids free) all go to the NGS charities, so for a good cause as well ;D.

We will are also having our annual show on the same day, so there will be plenty to see, plus the produce stall and the famous tea tent. Fingers crossed for good weather again!

Come along and see Saddad's and OH's lovely plots and Deb P's shed 'in the flesh'! Plots are very diverse and there is the apiary plot and wildlife area that has been transformed this year as well. I'm not on the Committe now so will hopefully be around on my plot more this year apart from a spell on the tea tent!

[goodlife]

I have marked this on my calendar... ;) Get the kettle on...and biggest slice of the cake is reserved.. ;D

[saddad]

The Sunflowers are almost as good as in that pic on the left!!  :)

[manicscousers]

Sorry, David and Deb, this sunday were off to a fundraising in memoriam of a friend's daughter .

[saddad]

Fair enough...
it isn't compulsory... yet!  ;D

[saddad]

Hope the weather picks up for the weekend!  :-X

[pumkinlover]

Fingers crossed for you, I doubt will make it as already doing things

[Oldhippy]

And will there be samosas?  :D

[Deb P]

Yes, the samosas are on order, will be cooked freshly for us on the morning.....yummy! ;D

I'm going to be busy potting up some of my strawberry runners for the plant stall, should have some Marshmello, Late Cambridge Pine and Gariguette, possibly some Marshmarvel and Amelia too. I'm also considering pruning my willows and putting together some cutting bundles so folk can do their own fedges etc., not sure if there would be the interest but worth a try? ???

[saddad]

Bump...
glad I'm not on the committee as tonight is a bad night for a "meeting"!  :-X

[saddad]

Bump

[Deb P]

I've been down to my plot today tidying up for Sunday....still plenty to do though! The strawberry runners are all potted up, I'm hoping it's a bit dryer tomorrow so I can finish the weeding and  just do some fun tarting up bits...... ;D

[saddad]

We did some tidying at the weekend... suppose I should go out and do some to avoid "letting the side down"... wonder how the Sunflowers are doing after those strong winds...  :-X

[saddad]

Bump.... did I mention our Open Day on Sunday?  :P

[Deb P]

Spent the moning weeding, pruning and realising how much I still have to do before Sunday! Must give the shed a sweep out too....I'll have to get some biscuits in just in case it rains and I end up sitting in it most of the day! ;D

[saddad]

May be having a "Poly Tunnel" Opening party too... made the doors and frames yesterday... hope to get them hung and the skin on today...  :)

[goodlife]

Well..if you don't get it done today..we'll come tomorrow and give you hand.. ;) But that means proper tunnel 'warming' party then.. ;D I'll try not to dance on staging/tables... ;D

[Ellen K]

Did somebody mention selling strawberry plants?
