Last Friday the allotment group decided to take a walk around the site. It was really interesting to see what's happening on other peoples plots, We focussed on looking at how other allotmenteers were harvesting water, composting, ponds and bird tables as these are our four priorities over the winter months.

We spent a couple of hours on Friday planning for next year. We decided some of our priorities for the allotment are: to carry on with digging it over,  setting up  a water harvesting sytem, to look at installing a pond, putting up bird tables and consider the pro's and con's of having a wormery. 

We went through the packets seeds we have been donated and also looked at seed catalogues. We are going to be growing some old favourites again: potatoes, tomatoes, onions and garlic.  We are also thinking about growing some different vegetables from last year, maybe chillies, fennel and peppers.
