Communal Composting

Hi Everyone
Just to let you all know the Richmond Fellowship have helped us put up five communal composting bays, I will be adding some labels in the next few days but in the meantime please don't put any perennial weeds on and cut any woody materials up nice and small.
Thanks
Janet

Allotment Committee

Hi Everyone
With a view to future events and social gatherings on the Sunray site I am looking for anyone interested in forming an allotment committee. This would allow you to decide how your site is used with me here to offer advice and resources.
Please contact me asap if you are interested in being involved.
Best wishes
Janet

Beans and weeds

Thanks Janet - will get some beans and do a little weeding at the same time! :)

Beans, beans and more beans!

Hi Everyone,

Just another reminder to help yourselves to the French Beans growing in the central circle, we have been managing to pick them once a week but this isn't really enough to make sure we put them all to good use.

They are planted to grow up the sweetcorn so you have to look for them a bit in amongst everything - but be assured there are lots there! There are also Canellini beans, these are larger and have red speckles on - you can either pick these too or they can be left to use for dried beans.

If anyone feels like lending a hand to keep the weeds down in amongst this area your help would be much appreciated.

Enjoy!

Janet

French Beans Galore!

Hi Everyone,
Please feel free to help yourselves to the French Beans that are growing in the central community growing circle, our Mencap group came and harvested lots yesterday but they are only here every fortnight so won't be able to keep up. Please leave any squashes for now as we hope to do a end of season harvest for those.
Thanks and enjoy.
Janet

Community Growing Spaces

Hi Everyone, great to see you have started to use the blog, more importantly great that it has started raining again after such a dry Spring! On the down side the weeds are all desperately trying to catch up too.
Although this year we had a business partner come to help us planting up the community growing spaces, next year we would like local groups and organisations to use them. If you know anyone who may be interested in finding out more about this offer please put them in touch with me.
Thanks.
