There will be no DigIn gardening session on Saturday 14th Jan 2017.
We are holding one of our regular meetings but instead of being in the cold polytunnel, we are holding it at the Equalised Club in Stapleford. All volunteers are welcome to join us at the meeting - it will be in the warm for a change.
The meeting starts at 10.15am if you want to join us.

Christmas at Dig In
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all volunteers and supporters of Dig In!
We've had a fab year - thanks to all of the volunteers for their hard work. Its been great to welcome new volunteers and to see all of our regulars too.
We're going to be taking a couple of days off over the holiday period, so we'll be closed on Saturday 24th Dec and Wednesday 28th Dec. Open as usual on New Year's eve, Sat 31st Dec.
May all your sprouts be perfectly cooked :o)

Pretty as a Picture
Just a few pics from Saturday. We don't often see grasshoppers at this time of year but this one was enjoying the mild, if drizzly at times, weather.
Also a couple of nasturtium shots with the morning's dew still on the leaves.

Autumn Harvest 2016
A big THANK YOU to all visitors who came to our Harvest Event on Saturday afternoon.
We thought we were going to have a dry & sunny day at one point, but then we should have known there'd be a rain shower or two, there usually is when we have an event. No fear though, we have tents, gazebos, a polytunnel & other places to shelter so nothing stops us enjoying ourselves. We hope all our visitors had a good time and don't forget, if you fancy joining in with our allotment group you can come along any Weds or Sat, 10-12. Just ring the bell on the gate or drop us an email to enquiries@diginstapleford.org.uk

Autumn work
When's the quiet time of year? Not now for sure! We're busy clearing away the summer veg and planting overwintering lettuces, chard, and chicory, sowing seeds of black radish, green mustard, etc., and harvesting potatoes!
