      May we have the water to the road taps switched on this week, please, rather than waiting until the clocks go forward, as those of us starting seeds and plants under cover need some clean water for our little darlings….. Regards Stewart

        11 March 2023 – Water on, please. Now we seem to be past the
        severely cold spell, can we please have the water turned on to the taps along our grass roads? Those of us bringing on seedlings under cover need it. If another cold spell is forecast we can readily turn it off again for a while…. Stewart

          Just a word of appreciation for the unpaid work done by members of the committee to keep the site running for all our sakes! On this occasion I ‘m thinking particularly of the prompt repairs to the water pipes damaged by the severe cold weather early in the winter – I think Dan and Mike from near the top of the middle road were the principal activists (but forgive me if I have missed somebody). Thanks very much! Stewart Young

      Good afternoon
      I am writing to you from St Gregory the Great Secondary School. Do you have any plans in your organisation for community engagement that we may share with you?
      We have some garden areas of the school (plus willing students) that could do with some advice from someone who knows what they are talking about to help teachers and students improve their environment.
      I look forward to hearing from you

      Water. As there is no sign of frost can we please delay turning off the water for the plot-side taps until forecasts suggest imminent hard freeze? And in February / March consider turning water on if forecast is clement? Those of us growing under cover would appreciate access to clean water. Stewart Young

      The new padlocks is a great idea as my partner and I have had our she’d broken into 4 times this year, however the very brief time slot for collecting new keys isn’t ideal as we both work weekends is there a way we can collect outside of the 20 and 21st November?

      With regard to the new locks, they are brilliant. Congratulations to Jon and Mike for a job well done.

      Hi all. A long shot but does anyone have any tomato ‘Ferline’ seeds to spare? Seems to be a national shortage! Tim

      Hi – we have a large and very well built shed in our back garden. No longer needed – but unfortunately was not built to be taken to bits and reassembled so it’s going to be cut up. Is there anyone out there who is interested in taking it away and rebuilding it or reusing some v sound timber? If so come and find me. It needs to go on 2 April.
