Wednesday 28th April day 3 #Nationalgardeningweek
one of the things i like best about gardening is growing plants from seeds and cuttings. everything from choosing seeds or taking cutting material to potting up or planting out a carefully nurtured plant fills me with a certain sense of satisfaction ( or smugness). I find the whole process of sowing seeds, waiting for the first signs of growth, watching the true leaves unfurl, pricking out individual seedlings into pots, and potting on till they reach their final resting place extremely satisfying 
March and April  are the main months to sow seeds but you can always find something to so each month in the next few weeks we will be sowing our beans and cubits (cucumbers & squashes) these are fast growing tender plants that will ready to out in mid /late May when the nights have warmed up and risk of frost has passed.

    Greening Stoke is a project run in partnership between Festival Stoke and Letting in the Light.  We are based in Stoke-on-Trent.  
    We want to share with you the journey of taking on an allotment for Greening Stoke. We will share our ups and our downs, and we hope that you will be able to come and visit us during 2021.
    Please sign up to our newsletter too and we can tell you when we are running activities you can join in with.

    COVID Safe

    We are starting this adventure in January 2021 in the middle of a national Lockdown. Until things change and begin to open up we are  abiding by all the Covid-19 Government guidance and for the foreseeable future only Rachel and Anne will be working, in a socially distanced way, to prepare and maintain Plot 33 for when we can invite the community to work with us.
