End of winter at the door! OPTIMISM ! :)

[Francesco Benvenuti]

Hello hello allotmenters! Hope the prolonged cold season is not afflicting you much :).. Spring is at the door and vegetables can feel it!
Next wednesday we will have Lots of composts bags to keep planting indoor new veggies, So why not coming down with your favourite seeds and give it a Grow :) ?.

There are already quite few things planted inside and seed potatoes are chitting in the greenhouse next to the bench! To know more about potatoes growing here is a fast link http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/todo_now/veg_gard_now.php#pots ..

Last week At the AGM we have nominated the new committee (quite informally :D )
-President (convener)-Beth
-Secretary- Cornelia .(Robin Co-secretary)
-Treasurer- Emily

We have also bought lots of exciting new tools with the money provided by the Innovative Initiative grant and the EUSA development Fund! exciting new legacy for the allomtnet and future members :)
Together with tools we have been given the permission of setting up a small polytunnel/greenhouse next to the edge at the allotment! We have ordered it and we will get together in the new month to build it up!  Definitely an exciting project to learn practical "building" skills!!  More info to come soon!

Finally, Today Samantha will bring some peppers and tomato seedling to the allotment which we will transplant in bigger pots! come along from 13:00! :)

Finally, to learn and get an idea on what to do in your garden at the end of march, have a look here!  nice website http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/todo_now/veg_gard_now.php
