In between the showers today, Katie, Irene, Fiona, June & Ian met for coffee and a chat before meeting up with Martin who made us two fantastic new deep planters for Proctor road. Once Ian & Martin had put the new planters in place we part filled them ready to top up with manure & top soil. As a thanks we gave Martin a bottle of his favorite tipple.Photos from Incredible Edible Hoylake's post

Today, June, Irene, Katie, Marie & Ian met and after coffee & a chat returned to The Rec, as the saying says 'many hands make light work' so we managed to clear lots more, we hope next week it will be done. We also have a new volunteer joining our group and hopes to get her hands 'dirty' next week!Photos from Incredible Edible Hoylake's post

This morning Katie & Ian made a start clearing The Rec ready for next years planting. Plenty of weeds were dug up & plenty more to do over the next few weeks.Photos from Incredible Edible Hoylake's post

Last week, Rose, Irene, Katie & Ian moved the planters from Albert road, to the Hoylake Pantry's new location in The Row, the planters were re filled and stocked with cut and come again Lettuce, Chives and a few Herbs.

Today Rose, Katie, June, Irene & Ian met up and after coffee, Ian & Irene decided to go to Meols Station and tend to the planters on the platforms. We added compost to them all and put in some Leeks, Onions & Spinach that June had started off at home. Rose put some Salad Leaves, Onions & Leeks into the Shaw Street planters and June tidied up the beds & planters at Melrose Hall and also put in some Spinach, Leeks & Onions. You might notice a sign on one of the planters on Meols station that say's Incredible Edible Meols, this was put on by Merseyrail by mistake,when they replaced the planter, I have editted this for our photo to avoid confusion.Photos from Incredible Edible Hoylake's post
