Please be aware that I am sure that a Mr ‘Nobody’ has been picking my runner beans on the West Street Site. Please look out for strangers, particularly in the early morning or late afternoon, carrying bags of produce. They could be having a free feed.
As the West Street Rep I have been asked by several people if the paths could be cut more often, now we pay more rent! I have also been asked if something could be done about the few plots that are overgrown and are spreading weed seed all over other people’s plots. Likewise, a few plots appear to be non productive. Please can these plots be reallocated to people on the long waiting list a plot.
I must say that the site is the best I have ever seen it in 15 years…..keep harvesting and digging!
Louis, at the Blue Door!
