Alys Fowler Foraging Walk in Kings Heath Brum - next week - on Twitter now

[VirginVegGrower]

I was given the figure of 4x25. I've got a pencil sketch in my log of what I'd like to plant. Since it's only onions, garlic, acquadulce, spring cabbage, perhaps winter lettuce, I have some time to tweak. Need to get my head around successional planting. I get very easily distracted by the contents of my seedbox.

I used a free planner on Suttons I think to plan out my lottie - use it for two months to draw your beds, etc. don't have to keep it. I started a diary on mine too, which is really funny to read back. Acts as an aide memoire. AC beans a must, as are your onions and garlic, spring cabbage plants in this month. You could put some fruit canes in, which I noticed were being sold off at my local garden centre. It's fun getting an allotment for the first time.

Keep us informed will ya, I may pop on up in the spring depending when it is (we're going away at some point) Do you have to register?

[VirginVegGrower]

Nope you don't need to register. I will pop another thread on when she announces it via Twitter. Be good to meet some more grapes!

My favourite - the mulberry had people foxed. How lucky are we in S Derbyshire. Miss Z - you can meet me for some mulberry picking in BoT.
I saw the tweet about hairy bikers. Was it good? Hope they were cooking your heritage veg.

Yes, don't see why not....maybe one [early] evening next week?

The Hairy Bikers were great - my friend Jacks gave them my number a few months back as they wanted to visit an allotment with heritage veg [so naturally she thought of me] - I had a chat with the researcher and gave them GO's number and they arranged it all and so I just came in at the end for a photo session. Nice!

Incidentally; on my purchasing travels today - I found some Sea Buckthorn plants...so I'm going to be foraging from them next week.

Will pm you and sort a day/time. I'm going for more sloes this weekend if there's space in the freezer. Found a bullace source too :-) are you interested in sweet chestnuts when they're ready?

[northepaul]

I would go on one if it was run by John Wright (and were free too )..oh and local to me...not much on an ask really!!

[mrbadexample]

Aww damn! I missed this and I could bloody well have gone too!

VVG can you PM me in spring please so I don't miss it?

[VirginVegGrower]

If you're on Twitter, follow her and you will get the announcements. I'll try to remember you for Spring but it's a long way off and I may forget.

Thank you. Trying to remember is the most I could possibly ask for.

And...err...what's this Twitter thing?
