    Be mindful on your plots

    I just received a copy of an email sent to my allotment committee; earlier I had received one changing the rules of the allotment in that there will be no communal tea breaks, shop open, etc.
    The one I copy below shows that allotment societies and activities are being monitored by neighbours in the nearby vicinity.

    Email:

    Dear ....,

    thank you for your email regarding my concerns about your members being allowed by the committee to use XYZ Allotments without adhering to the social distancing rules in place at this time.

    I have sent photo evidence to the police and the allotment society showing 9 members of your society, including Committee or ex committee members, sitting around the benches drinking tea and chatting.

    I believe that they were not adhering to social distancing and will be finding out who else I need to send these to, to stop you allowing the using the allotment as a leisure park.

    I witnessed and photographed YOUR MEMBERS and COMMITTEE who were SUNBATHING down to their T shirts, sitting together well within the 2 metre recommended distancing.

    When I questioned this I was told to F*** OFF.

    I will be monitoring your idiotic behaviour, you will all be locked down in a few days and I am making sure that the 7 days of self isolation that I am going through is not negating because you guys want to party behind my garden fence.

    STAY AT HOME


    Kind Regards,

    .....

    Good on him is all I can say! I was not in the guilty club as I have not been lately to my plot!!

Allotment and Edible Gardening

This allotment and edible gardening group is to talk to like minded individuals about their experiences and plans, to exchange ideas, get advice, sharing of seeds, plugs, etc. - essentially, anything to do with allotment or edible gardening. I am also hoping we can meet up, perhaps in turns, at each other's plots. This group is open to anyone anywhere with an allotment or a keen interest in learning about allotment culture and edible gardening. As it is a relatively new group, we will also need to see how it evolves organically - very much my style of gardening, as chemical free and organic as possible :-) So far, so good ...do sign up, you'll be most welcome.
