Strawberry planting
A new project on the allotments.
Last Sunday volunteers for the Project planted around a hundred strawberry plants in specially prepared beds on the Knucklas allotment fields. These strawberries join the orchard of nearly 90 established fruit trees, and the currant bushes that will shortly be planted, so we’re looking forward to some super crops of fruit next summer and hopefully for many years to come. The aim is to sell as much of the produce as possible locally – so we all have the opportunity to share in the good things of life that our valley provides -but also to help raise the funds that the Land Project still needs to buy the land for the community.
