The plot before Heage Scouts moved in
After waiting for the winter to finally finish we got going back in January and February. Each member of the Group took some type of seeds home to propagate and grow on ready for transfer in to the allotments green houses.
In the breaks in the weather over February and March we filled the beds with manure and topped some off with top soil; the new poly tunnel is working great. An adult helper went on a beekeeping course over March and came away with a vast amount of information and a sore head, but very inspired to keep bees.
At the end of March we planted out our first crop of potatoes in the top beds, we have covered them in plastic to help keep them warm and warm the soil.
Seedlings are being brought back by the group members for potting up in bigger pots, construction of the bottom beds has begun, we have had two project weekends and things are really coming together.
