Framfield & Blackboys Horticultural Society News – May 2009

As many of you might know we have a Horticultural web site www.fabhortsoc.org.uk which was set up by Sylvia Fresson. Sylvia will remain on the committee but is no longer able to run the web site due to private commitments, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for all of her hard work and welcome Terry Everitt as the new custodian. Please take a look when you have a moment and If you would like to see more or have any suggestion please contact Terry via email terry.everitt@virgin.net
Last year I was offered a greenhouse from a friend who had himself obtained it second hand from the Friday ad. With a little hard work and sweat from a few willing helpers it was swiftly erected and I have not looked back. So if you are in two minds as to whether to get one my recommendation would be yes go for it, you will not regret it. They can be used all year round, for storing those not so hardy plants, for planting and potting on your seedlings, a safe haven for tomato plants in the spring and summer and will help stop them getting blight when it’s a wet one! You will also have somewhere light and dry offering you the perfect shelter from the elements. Ours has also been used as a hospital wing for a poorly chicken, whom I am pleased to say, is now fit and well.

We are usually at the monthly Framfield Market. We try to have a few plants for sale and seeds to either swap or you can make a small donation. There is still time to grow things and plan for the summer show so please do have a go and if you are unsure about anything come and ask us at the market.
Summer Show - Saturday 8th August 2009 1.30 - 5.00 pm
Sorry to mention this again, but If anyone could offer any help before, during or after the show we would love to hear from you so please contact Edna Abrams on 01825 890976.

Many Thanks,

Jenny Bacon – Chair
