Local harvesting continues with more potatos (of which we have made & shared over 80 potato cakes), rhubarb and blackberries for crumble & pies for St. Marks United Reformed Church annual Harvest Hotpot on Wed. 10th Sept. 6pm on Oatlands Road, M22 6AH. Tickets are £3/£1.50 adults & children.
The marrow, courgettes and beans will be given away at the Harvest Festival Worship Celebration after we have thanked God for them together as a church on Sun. 14th Sept 11am-12noon. Theme for harvest is: 'A banquet for all peoples' and will include opportunity to share in bread and wine as communion too. All welcome.
There is much clearing, weeding & laying of paths coming up after the harvesting is over. We will be investing some of the monies which have been generously donated to us from Didsbury Allotment Society sales to put towards much needed items for the site including some repairs and creation of a raised bed on the site and making sectioned beds for ease of getting around the site for differently abled people. Thankyou Didsbury Allotment group for giving us some funds to improve our first-ever allotment!
