Green Fingers on SWVG Allotment
At first we dug and planted. Then we got a new shed. And finally we harvested! The SWVG allotment produced over 100kg of fruit and veg in summer 2019. This included red currants and raspberries, dwarf beans, courgettes, potatoes, tomatoes, chillies, peppers, leeks, lettuces, and various squashes, including a giant 17kg pumpkin.
CALLING GARDENERS: Do you have surplus seedlings? Please give them to the SWVG allotment. We particularly welcome tomatoes, courgettes, pumpkins and squash esp. butternut squash, French beans, runner beans, peas, peppers, kale, chard, spinach,
