February meeting:
Snowdrops, cyclamen, Himalayan poppies and hellebores were among the plants being enjoyed in our gardens at the moment, with Bill (Ashton) photographing the slide show photos shown in this post, from his lovely garden, the morning of the meeting.
Brian (Leach) took us through vegetables suitable for growing in confined spaces (pots/borders/raised beds etc) and suggested any novices could try potatoes, spinach beet, onion sets , courgettes, swiss chard and also parsley and rhubarb. We agreed to buy early potatoes and courgette seeds, for members to discuss ‘spritting and next steps’ at our March meeting and ‘have a go’.
