Pleased to announce that Incredible Edible Llandrindod now has it's own Veg' Doctor. Dave Burridge, from the Walled Garden at Doldowlod, is happy to answer any veg' growing questions that you might have, preferably by email. Dave has years of growing experience and can run courses on most aspects of horticulture. He is skilled in fruit growing, garden design and has mentored and helped growers at all levels from experienced to never having grown a thing before. He will also be posting a 'two things to do this month' on this face book group, so watch this space.


No matter what size garden you have or what skill level you are at Dave is here to help. We'll call the post 'veg doc' update :)

A few little herbs to start with...approval from our 'lady of the beds'. Seeds are sown, young plants are raised in the town polytunnel. the weather improves and....hey presto...by the end of May we have a garden!

Raised beds filled with with soil and the team that filled themThe raised beds were finally completed in late February, early March. The next step was to shift nearly 55 tons of top soil and compost into them by hand. The soil arrived in 1 ton dumpy bags, which had to be taken from the car park, down the path and into the tennis court on a pallet truck. Once in place the soil had to be shovelled out of the bags and into the beds by hand. A huge thank you to the amazing soil shifters, verily 'the earth moved'.

The bed building team are busy!!

 
 

Dorienne outside the Coversure shop on Middleton Street, with some of the plants the group gave away

The Incredible Edible Llandrindod group had a brilliant two weeks outside Cover Sure in Middleton Street as part of the HAF Llandrindod summer holiday activities organised by Becky and Ellie of the Llandrindod Wells Working Together project.
 
We gave away over 150 plants, all of which were donated by IE members, so a very big thank you to everyone who took the time to sow, propagate and plant and to those giving up their time to be on the stall.  It was the first time we have been able to have a public presence and the praise and enthusiasm for what we are striving to achieve was wonderful. We have quite a few new members on the face book page and some keen and experienced gardeners willing to give a hand. The event was focused on the children and we were all bowled over by the excitement expressed by many in having a plant to look after. Hopefully we will have young growers joining our ranks soon!
