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’.
Our next lunch date is Sunday, 12th March and will be at
The Meadows Pub (a hungry Horse)
meeting at 1.30pm to eat at 2.00 pm
You can book as usual at the Day trips desk on Tuesday,21st Feb. You can choose your menu on the day.
I am considering booking at The Royal on The Esplanade, Waterloo for a future date and would welcome your views on convenience, either by car or train – we do, of course, have to change trains. There is a short walk from the station in South Road and parking is good.
