Those salad days

Hooray, we have started harvesting our salad crops and potatoes, the boys from the green stuff as opposed to the black stuff (appropriate as we were once a mining community) bagged the first crops and went door to door selling (very cheaply) to the residents. They were met with great enthusiasm and I hope it will encourage more visitors to the allotments to see what else is available.

We are busy preparing our programme of courses for September and have some new and exciting courses including a creative garden design course, taster courses in Spanish and complementary therapies and an enterprise learning by doing course, a business course that encourages young people to pilot business ideas, we have six enthusiastic young men from our community involved and I can't wait to see how much money they can make.
