Hayle Rose and Cabbage Results
Report from Hayle Rose and Cabbage - special congratulations to Jane Siddorn and Tina Wood for winning Best Kept Allotments
Theft of plants from Allotment 2
Sadly someone has been on Allotment 2 and dug up some flowering plants which were coming into bud from the troughs they were being grown in.
It's unbelievable that someone would be so sneaky and criminal for the sake of some plants they could grow themselves if they put the effort in!
Please could everyone try to keep an eye out at the site for people who don't belong there, whilst staying welcoming to visitors! I do hope this doesn't happen again. Sympathy to Jim.
Rose and Cabbage Show this Saturday (23rd)
Please pop along and support the Hayle Rose and Cabbage Show this Saturday (23rd July). Only £1.50 entry! Lots of lovely veg! If you think the vegetables can't match yours, then you know you should enter next year...
It is open to visitors from 11 - 6 in the Hayle Daycare Centre.
Those of you who have entered, you need to take your produce down there on Friday evening between 7 and 9, or on Saturday morning between 7 and 8:45.
May the best allotmenter win...

Britain in Bloom Judges visit Hayle Allotments
Hello all - the judges of Britain in Bloom are coming to judge Hayle on Thursday morning and will be coming by the allotments between 11 and 11:30 am. If any of you could come down and show support, meet the judges and possibly show them your plots, it would be really helpful to Hayle in Bloom's chances of winning a prize - they want to show that lots of people are involved in horticulture in Hayle.
Please let me know if you can make it!
