Yesterday the team did sterling work taming the canalside landscaping at Fenny Stratford. It's been a whole year since we helped the team from and plant up the beds and they have matured beautifully. We do maintenance work on them at any Thursday session preceding a Fenny cruise weekend, one of which starts today! You can see the boat at the 'quayside' in the first photo beside the beds and the freshly strimmed grass, viewed from bridge 96 over Watling Street.
One of the beds is a community herb bed and there have been problems with, we think, just one irresponsible dog owner who allows their large dog to foul the bed. Particularly annoying on a bed full of edibles and within 35 paces of a dog bin. Maybe they don't care, but maybe they don't know the plants are edible, so a helpful sign may go up to educate them soon. In the meantime, two bags of extra hot red chilli powder have been liberally sprinkled round the herbs in an attempt to help the dog self-regulate its own bottom! 😬💩🔥

The birds were out in force on Thursday. 13 recorded birds over the snack break.

We had a small group out doing the watering, moving some wood chip to the beds and a spot of weeding.

A wonderful day in the allotment on Thursday! Spring is really taking off, and buds and leaves are sprouting. Beds have been prepared for peas, beetroot seeds planted and weeds pulled from the flower beds.

Please join us next Thursday at 10am to help plant some more seeds and have a cuppa!

Back at last! After a long break (every Thursday has been miserably wet since before Christmas), we finally returned to the allotment today. had kindly left us a huge pile of fragrant wood chipped Christmas trees, so we barrowed them around the beds. Great to see people again! 💪🏻💪🏽🌲🌲
