Mistletoe (no wine though)
A mild and windy morning on the allotment today. Karen spotted this mistletoe growing on one of the Bramley apple trees! This is fab news as we've been trying to get some to grow for years. Last winter/spring we squished lots of seed into a number of our orchard apple trees so I'm really chuffed that one of the seeds has actually taken.

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
