Edge Lane Allotments's blog

Plot 65 Edge Lane Allotments June 2008.

Thriving and growing with great enthusiasm.

We are really enjoying the home grown veg from our plot.

This is Lottie our very own 'Grass Cutter' who helps preparing the overgrown plots and our secret visitor 'Foxy' who upsets the chickens at night.

I think we will need to build some little Hedgehog houses for these little guys, we must encourage our wildlife back into the local area Edge Lane Allotments is full of them we even have sloe worms (I hope I have spelt that right )

Here we can see three pictures of some newborne baby hedhehogs, the first two are on site at the plot with the raised beds at Edge Lane Allotments, looks like the mother had abandoned them the thired is where they ended up , which was at the hedge hog hospital in withington.  (don't they look cosey) I have been told by the nurses at the hedgehog hospital that once the mother has left them they would have died or been eaten by the birds, so well done too the young lads who were helping clean up the site.

Without the survival of Edge Lane Allotments, these 2 fantastic characters would have nothing but the pub on their doorstep. This wonderful oasis of tranquility and beauty is what keeps these 2 wonderful characters going. So please don't ever think of selling Edge Lane Allotments to the developers again.

Dublin Billy swears by his Kale juice, we are not too sure, but then again he has beaten cancer, heart attacks and brain bleeds, so there must be something in it!!!!
