GATE LOCKS

To reduce problems with our gate locks we oil them on a regular basis (if we remember) - about once a month. Unfortunately this does mean that keys may well get a bit messy for a few days so please be aware.

THE ASSOCIATION SHOP

Open 9 AM to Noon Sat& Sun

Site Gates

As previously mentioned - the main gates into Eddington are to be adjusted to overcome various problems. Meanwhile please take care when the wind is blowing - the gates are heavy and controlling them can be a challenge. We don’t want any accidents.

The gates leading to Jessops also need attention. This is on the work list.

The realignment of the gates at Station Road is still in the development stage - we have moved past the need for planning permission. The car parking is to be sorted out with better surfacing and then the entrance will be replaced.

SLUG PELLETS

The UK ban on blue metaldehyde has been over-ruled by the courts due to poor procedures. However, we will not be stocking this product again as the ban is likely to be re-applied and the product is regarded as harmful to wildlife beyond its target. Alternatives are available.

We no longer stock metaldehyde pellets.

Stay at least 2 metres apart at all times when on site

July on Your Plot

Now is the time to begin to harvest:

 Courgette's, Mustard seeds, Ridge Cucumber, Peas, Sweetcorn, French Beans (dwarf), Celery and Garlic.

Stop watering Onions .

Transplant Kale to it’s final position.

Ensure Fruit trees have plenty of moisture at their roots

Runner Beans

Water once a week if it doesn’t rain and water well.

Pick any early runner beans before the seed pods begin to bulge (or the skins toughen and get stringy).

Pick them regularly to keep the beans coming.

Keep the plot well watered during hot sunny spells.

Avoid watering potato and tomato leaves to try and avoid Blight at this time of year

Lift some potato plants, to gauge progress.

Keep main crop plants well watered, as dry conditions reduce yield and potato size.

Sow potatoes now for Christmas crops!

Lettuces and other salad crops:  Succession sow more lettuce, rocket, land cress, corn salad, and other salad leaves for an ongoing supply in the autumn.

               Look out for early signs of  Blight

Watch out for the signs of Blight on tomatoes and potatoes.

We have had a report from a plot holder that he has had to

deal with an early case of  blight. (See photo opposite)

ASIAN HORNETS
