A.O.B

A suggestion was made by a member to turn Keith’s plot into a children’s area with swings in memory of him. It was decided by all present that although it was a nice thought, because of insurance and safety issues that it was not practical.

1. Blackburn will be away for 3 months, his sister will probably be working his plot.

RR & BM Facebook page will be updated with photos by Dean. Thanks Dean.

Clive R thanked Sheila and Clive for running the raffle at the meeting and to all who bought tickets.

AGM Veggie competition: 3 finest and 1 heaviest garlic with roots.

 

Veggie Talk:

It is time to plant almost everything e.g., beetroot, lettuce, onions, spring onions. You can now purchase deeper square gro-bags. You can register with Blightwatch on line for updates. You should spray for blight before it happens – every 3 weeks. Copper Fungicide by Bayer is a blight spray available from shops.
