We arrived bright and early Saturday, did the releasing the ladies into the frost, broke the ice off the water etc.etc.
We then went potential member hunting.
The elusive antipodean probationary members were elusive, they don't like the cold you know...
So we re grouped at Waitrose Costa and planned a return sortie on Sunday.
Sunday we were successful in tracking the potentials down - Andy and Claire came to visit the Ladies whilst Linda was "mucking out".
They were given some eggs, a tour and a bag of chicken poo to take away.
They are considering our offer to join, as soon as we hear anything, we will share the news with the group.
Flying Greenhouses - We assisted Richard, Jon , Linda and Jon's kids in evicting the unwelcome squatter greenhouse that was lurking in Richard's plot.
Apparently it was spotted in Linda's plot earlier, but decided to hop over the fence to Richards...
It's now been sent back to Keithland and hopefully it will stay...
We did discuss ideas for social events, Jane wondered about a "Bring and Swap" session later in the spring where we could exchange surplus plants, seedlings etc...
Or perhaps we could do a Tidy Sunday lunch event, where everyone brings some foodstuff, e construct lunch, tidy the plot and rebuild the fence, dig in anti-Rat defenses and generally tidy up?
over to you....
I think both ideas sound great - and maybe later on we could exchange surplus veggies too - especially useful to those like me who have anti courgette soil but could probably feed the world with beetroot and raspberries!!!
