Our February meeting was held on the 27th. Mr Peter
Fisk from Great
Barton came along to give an illustrated talk on "Vegetables" which
he
has been growing for over 40 years. His garden was immaculate and
if
anyone in the audience spotted such a thing as a weed they must have
had
very good eyesight. The slides of Mr Fisk's vegetable garden certainly
showed how dedicated a gardener he is and the pictures all looked
as
though they had come out of a gardening book. The rows were straight,
the spaces exact, and all the vegetables looking good enough to eat.
Perhaps if I garden for another 40 years my garden will look a tiny,
weeny bit like Mr Fisk's. Mr Fisk was warmly thanked by Stan Bates
for
a very interesting talk.
Our garden society is having two coach outings this year - one
to Wisley
on Wednesday 10th May and one to Sandringham
Flower Show on Wednesday, 26th July. If you are interested in joining either the Society
or the
coach outings, please ring Jackie on 01440 820108.
Our March meeting is on the 27th and is a talk on "Water
Gardens" by Mr
Geoffrey Peck. Our meetings are held in the W.I. Hall and begin
at 7.30
p.m. New members are always welcome. If you are interested in any
particular aspect of gardening or just like pottering around your
garden, or even if you have no garden yourself, our meetings are
interesting and informative and we are very welcoming.
