These three kids were seen this week racing around our site at ridiculous speeds approaching two miles an hour. The big kid, believed to be the ringleader, was spoken to and issued with 15 Penalty Points on his wheelbarrow licence and a verbal warning that such blatant fun-seeking will not be tolerated – unless we all get a shottie.
Ruth is a First Year student of General Agriculture with SRUC out at Craibstone. Today was her first visit to Garthdee Field, but she will be a frequent visitor in future we hope, coming to help Gill (Plot 64) on her allotment.
I am sure we all want to welcome Ruth to GFAA and hope that she enjoys her time with us.
Val (Plot 23) has been back in touch to suggest this edition of the Gardeners’ World Podcast.
Description
Can we boost our immune systems and wellbeing through gardening? We hear from TV medic Michael Mosley how gardeners can benefit their health every time we’re in the garden.
Super to see the first stage of our new paving in place and looking so good. Stuart the Builder is doing us proud.
Thanks go to Val (Plot 23) for suggesting this post and providing the photos.
“I was just thinking it might be timely to alert all allotmenteers to the potential power of the wind at this time of year and ask them to check their structures are secured and anchored.“
It was certainly a shame to see so much damage done around our site after the recent gales – fences down, greenhouse glass blown out, compost bins scattered and poly tunnels uprooted.
Time to batten down the hatches! Thanks also go to Stewart (Plot 59) for taking the time on Sunday morning to replace and secure many vulnerable items and structures against the worst of the winds.
This short video celebrates some of the wildlife species with whom we share Garthdee Field Allotments.

If I have missed anyone off this list please let me know in the comments below and I will fix that. More photos or videos would be very welcome of course. There has never been a better time to celebrate the biodiversity of our site.
