Some good ideas on what you can use to make your own compost, such as coffee grounds, crushed egg shells & broken up old egg trays.
Well done Paul, another innovative plotholder!

Saltersgill Allotment volunteers gave their time to man a produce stall at Acklam Funday.
All the fruit & vegetables on display were grown & kindly donated by plotholders.
These are just some examples of what is grown on site. The table wasn’t quite big enough for everything!

Congratulations
to Saltersgill Allotment Association plotholder, Rosalind Waugh, who won second prize in the 'bake off' competition at Acklam Funday, St Marys Walk.
Rosalind created a scrumptious citrus & courgette cake decorated with pistachio nuts edible flowers & cream cheese icing. It looked beautiful & tasted divine! Rosalind grew the courgettes she used for her cake in her own allotment garden. Well done Rosalind!

It's a good harvest of apples, pears, plums etc. down at Gus's plot.
He's planning on making plum jam this year, as well as trying his hand chutney too!

Saltersgill Allotments have two plotholders manning a stall to help promote our allotments & the benefits of growing your own!
Acklam Fun Day & Bake Off event takes place at Mill Hill Field, St Marys Walk on Monday 27 July, from 1 to 4 pm.
If any plotholders can spare a few bits of veg, fruit or flowers to showcase what people have grown, that would help enormously to make the stall & the day a success.
Please message & one of the committee will pop round to collect before Monday 27th
