The year began with a wonderful Winter surprise as our first vegetable
seedlings appeared in early January.
The annual People & Planet Go Green Week was next where we held an
event encouraging students to bring a recycled coffee cup in return for free
chilli, lettuce and herb seeds.
Our elementary DIY skills were utilised in March as we built a bench
from recycled scrap materials (we must have done something right as it’s still
standing!)
A late Spring came next as we turned an empty flowerbed into a sea of
colour.
Weeding became the name of the game in May as we struggled to win the
War of the Weeds.
Some summer vegetable planting came next as we planted courgettes, pumpkins, radishes, beetroot and much more!
And for a fitting end to the summer, we reaped the rewards of our labour
with a bountiful harvest.
Thank you to everyone who contributed throughout the year. The allotment
is the product of all your hard work. I hope you all had a fantastic 2013 and
best wishes for the new year!
