I have heard lots of villagers complaining about the snow, but I like it as it makes my garden look very lovely, and I can’t see all the bits that I should have cleared away in the autumn, which I had left as “over wintering places for small creatures”, my excuse and I’m sticking to it!
I did go and look, very briefly, at the veg plot, my onions are still hanging in there, but I was inside again with a cup of tea a bit smartish!! Brrr!
Our first talk of the New Year is on Wednesday 3rd Feb, in the Vale room, Blewbury, 7.30pm, when Robert Longstaff will be giving a talk on “Vegetable Growing in Containers”. I am a great fan of growing carrots in containers as the dreaded carrot fly can’t get to them, and tomatoes in a pot on the patio are much easier to pick!
The programme for the coming year is available in the Post Office, we are a very informal group of gardening enthusiasts, please came and join us for a cup of tea or coffee, and enjoy a talk when we can’t actually get out on the garden yet. We have a varied programme of talks and outings planned for the year, no membership forms to fill in, and free to join! Ring for a lift if you need one, Maggie 850126, as my phone doesn’t work at the moment!
Our love and best wishes go to our Chairman, Eileen, on the sad death of her mum.
Happy Gardening
