First harvest of the year at Mill Lane Primary

The curly kale went down so well that not much got home with the gardening club members as they ate it on the way home!!

PEST TALK

On the 18th of April at 6pm I will be doing a talk on Garden Pests - Know Your Enemy at St Andrews Church Hall in Haughton, Darlington. This is free event but can you let us know if you will be attending so we know numbers!

DELIVERY TIME AGAIN

Its that time of year again, all the compost, pots and hanging baskets are going out to the households this week, however due to the horrid spring we've had none of the plants are ready so they will have to be delivered at a later date, probably in about three weeks

DOOR KNOCKING

The second round of door knocking got underway this week.

We're hoping to get as many new people on board before the deliveries of compost and pots start in April and the plants start arriving from the schools in early May.
