Dear Plot members,

Just a polite notice to let people know Leeds City Council have been cutting the trees back on the outside perimeter fence (Old Lane Side). They have been working the last 2 days.  We think this is work in progress & may continue all week.

 

Thank You

Mark Burton (Allotment Secretary)

This is a picture of our site Chairman Mick Hogan – His harvest of carrots has been “UNBELIEVABLE”  He has used the sand & compost method. Mick is on plot 30 on site & I’m sure he will share his tips if you go & see him.

Size obviously does matter !!

The Kings Seeds catalogues for Spring 2020  have arrived & Old Lane Allotments Association will be taking part in the allotment seed scheme.  I will be distributing them to plot members along with an order form & will be taking orders/ payment at our annual Annual General Meeting on the 7th October.

Plot members pay the prices set out in the catalogue & all seeds will be delivered to Old Lane Allotments where i will distribute them accordingly. Kings are a reputable seed supplier & there prices are really competitive. They will include club root resistant varieties and the catalogue is full of useful information & growing tips.

 

Many Thanks

(Mark Burton – Allotment Secretary) For & on behalf of Old Lane Allotments Association

Hi to Everyone,

Thought I would take some photographs from around the allotments today 2nd July 2018. The site is looking great, there seems to be no let up with the weather & the recent scorching dry conditions. The good weather seems to put a smile on everyone’s face,  I think the watering can is the most used piece of equipment on the site at the moment for obvious reasons. We could do with a really good down pour for all of our growing produce & to fill our water butts. So keep up the good work everybody !!
