We had a very hot time at the Hagg House Community Allotment on Saturday 22 May, seeing what has been going on there, weeding, planting and watering, as well as climbing onto tree platforms, making a solar powered oven and having a BBQ.
A good group of 17 gathered together with some surprise guests joining us – Clive, who is wanting to do a PhD in creating archives of community groups and wants to create a photographic archive of Crosspool Harvest from its first beginnings, and Mark and Christina, from the Crookes-Walkley Transition group.
As part of the afternoon, we walked up to the Bole Hill Road to view some ancient private allotments sites up there that are offer our current best prospect of providing us with land to set up on. We think these have real potential but there will be quite a bit of clearing needed.
We should go back with the plan, when we have it, to start to think about which plots would be best for our purposes.
An exciting end to a busy week!
