& 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
