AGM 2015 and workday

Busy day down at the patch today, we had our Annual General Meeting, and a workday, and we were open as part of Big Dig Bournemouth and Poole – well we had the bunting up, and one neighbour came in for a look.
Ken and Ruth brought down a feeding station and nesting site for hedgehogs. Great to attract these to the patch, since they should find the slugs much quicker than we do.
Our traditional AGM, mostly the same faces volunteering to be on the committee, but Bob relieving Ken of the chore of being treasurer. Our chairman, Mark having left his long list of agenda items and chairman’s report, had to make it all up on the spot. Several changes were proposed and then deferred for another year. All agreed that the tomatoes in the greenhouse had not done well, but the need to feed them with Comfrey liquor was not well known, and the water system probably needs a good clean through.
Of course the real reason we all go to the Patch is to feast on the lovely food that everyone brings down. Everyone looks a bit intent in this picture, as having started the AGM in sunshine outside the greenhouse, we all got a bit cold !
Last year we had one solitary peach on our new tree, so this year, and we might be a little late, we hand pollinated the flowers, Andy having popped home for a paintbrush.
There was good work done, but there was also lots of sitting around talking, or in Mateo’s case, playing with worms.
