Edge Lane Allotments's blog

Bradford Ward Councillor Neil Swannick and Allotments Manager Ken Wilson visited the site on Thusday 25th June, to discuss ongoing regeneration of the site with Plot Steward Patrick Maher.

At last here are the pictures from Edge Lanes Visit to The Spring 2009 Harrogate Show.

A great big THANK YOU to Ryan Tracey from New Deal for Funding the Coach, hopefully as it was a success it will be a regular thing.

All the local residents thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and judging by all the bags there is no recession in Clayton and Openshaw!!!!!!!

Please have a look at www.thisiseast.com and read the article Branching out what a nice touch By Len Grant.
I,m sure he should be working for Peoples Voice Media (smiles )

The lesson started after brews and biscuits, we were separated into pairs to discuss our our plots and then to let the others know what our partners' aim and wishes were for their plots.

Next we went outside into the sunshine to get more practical lessons. Everyone asking questions about how to get rid of weeds and how to grow your brassicas.

Just as the clouds began to show it was time to go back indoors to discuss crop rotation, types of soil conditions and composting.

Hi everybody Its been a lovely weekend on the plots, It was so nice to see everybody busying away on there plots this weekend. Newcomers trying there hardest to get ready for the growing season and some of the old timers just chilling in the sun.

Everybody working hard and Spring flowers brightening up the allotments.

Spring is in the air at Edge Lane Allotments, just look at this wonderfull snowdrop, one of many bulbs planted by the Discus project on our community plot. Its amazing how a tiny little bulb can fight its way through the fozen soil and snow to produce such a dainty little flower.
