Last Sunday Sally and myself lifted some potatoes from the allotment. Overall the potatoes, if a little small, are fine. In the true spirit of community we have shared the potatoes with other Amida Newcastle members.
At this period of the gardening year it is pleasing to see that the soil has contninued to improve. Where the vegatables have been the heavy clumps of clay have been broken down. This process leaving the soil richer and easier to turn. Irene's rose has blossomed throughout the summer adding much needed colour to the area. The heathers and the rockery plants have continued to spread as they have sprang into colour. Red, white, and yellow sprigs flowing in the breeze.
This week we are having ten bags of soil improver delivered to the allotment this hopefuly helping the soil throughout the winter.
The potatoes were delicious - what with all your efforts and Eric's recipe - a fine meal. Thank you and Namo Amida Bu
