Apparently some youth have been vandalising the potatoes at Redshanks. Don't suppose anyone knows who they are?

Today, Rose, June, Lesley, Irene, Katie & Ian attended, after a coffee & chat, Ian & June cleared around the back of the hall, ready for a tool store & rain barrel to be fitted. Lesley & Rose planted out some salad lettuce at Melrose Hall, while Katie & Irene planted more lettuce in Market street planters and in Elm Grove Scout planters. Potatoes are almost ready at Redshanks, please dont dig up just yet, as soon as they flower and the petals fall off you can dig, please only take what you need and leave some for others. Thank You.Photos from Incredible Edible Hoylake's postwww.facebook.com
