NovemberThis month’s Bible verseFather, I have sinned against heaven…and am nomore worthy to be called thy son. Luke 15:21[He] would not lift up so much as his eyes untoheaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God bemerciful to me a sinner. Luke 18:13Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanseme from my sin. For I acknowledge mytransgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Psalm51:2-3Thus saith the LORD…I, even I, am he that blotteth out thytransgressions for mine own sake, and will notremember thy sins. Isaiah 43:25I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heavenover one sinner that repenteth, more than overninety and nine just persons, which need norepentance. Luke 15:7Authorised VersionDelabole Allotment Group News 2022We have certainly had an interesting growing season thisyear on the allotments! With the long dry spells from earlyspring onwards, and the unprecedented high temperaturesin the heat waves of the summer, the weather has providedsome ups and downs.We have had some successful harvests. Blight hasn’treally been a problem for our potatoes. Crops such astomatoes, chillies and peppers have been able to ripen,and many fruits and berries have been deliciously sweet.Sadly we have had some losses that haven’t been downto the weather or the usual garden pests. A few cropsmysteriously disappeared one night in the summer,including some unripe pumpkins belonging to one of ouryoungest growers. Luckily these instances are few and farbetween and on the whole we get to enjoy the fruits of ourlabour.With the pandemic restrictions out of the way, we havebeen able to restart our efforts to improve the site. We havehad a number of working party days, allowing us toenhance and maintain our communal areas, but as youcan imagine, watering has been our main concern. So thisyear we have focused on increasing rainwater capturecapacity to reduce mains water costs, and improvingaccess to water supplies for plot holders across the site.We aim to continue with this work into 2023, as well asplans to upgrade fencing and entrances. We will be tryingto source funding for some of this work.If you would like to be added to the waiting list for a plot,or need to contact the allotments for any reason, pleaseemail delaboleallotments@gmail.com
