A member of the commitee who wishes to remain anonymous, recieved a Valentines day present of two plaques for his greenhouse/garden/allotment.
The first read "Gardeners spend all day in their beds" The second, "I love it when you talk dirt to me". Has anyone got suggestions for similar presents for allotmenteers or obsessive gardeners?

For anyone who grows Kelsae onions. It seems that a freak hailstorm in Italy this year destroyed the supply of seeds for all the major seed companies in the U.K.
I've personally ordered a packet of 50 seeds for £3.50 from a small outlet in Ireland on ebay, but cannot vouch for the credibility or quality of them. (update: they've germinated well). If you normally grow Kelsae, you'd better start looking fast, because the prices of any avaliable seeds will only go up. Many sellers, including ourselves, are offering a variety called "Exhibition" as the nearest alternative.

Through the letterbox this week, a fundraising letter from the Alzheimers society, complete with a free packet of seeds. Forget-me -nots!
A man appeared in court after being spotted in the early hours of the morning near an allotment site in Stanley eating peas. The court heard the man was spotted walking along Aberford Road, Stanley at around 12:15 am. on a Sunday.
Police investigations found another allotment owner had reported a number of pea plants that had been stolen from his plot.
The defendant was found guilty of stealing a quantity of growing peas valued at 3d. He was fined 45/- and ordered to pay compensation.
