Christmas Cafe

Christmas cafe

Plenty of hungry, thirsty plotholders turned up on Sunday 18th December for our annual Christmas cafe. They swooped like parakeets on the spread of delicious cakes and mince pies.

No snow this year, sadly – but plenty of Santa hats to make up for it. Take a look at resident paparazzi Jenny Bourne's photos.

Allotment woodchips

Free manure and woodchips

Regular deliveries of royal manure and woodchips are now arriving. Help yourself from plot 126.

 

The woodchips are ideal for paths but shouldn't be used as a mulch on beds until they have completely composted down - which may take up to six months.
