Buddleias
I have been digging my veggie plot over and uprooted a number of small self-seeded Buddleias (purple).
They are now in a red bucket at the bottom of my drive at Creamery Green. Please help yourself.

Plants going free
Posted in Classified adverts, Gardens on Friday January 25, 2019| Leave a Comment »
I am running out of space to store plants in my drive so am throwing away a number of good sized containerised plants:
- Carex pendula (weeping sedge) – a native grass, have about a dozen
- Leycesteria formosa (pheasant berry) – shrub, have over two dozen, enough for a reasonable stretch of hedging
- Alchemilla Mollis (Ladies Mantle) – herbaceous, have
half a dozentwo- Lysimachia vulgaris (yellow loosestrife) – herbaceous, have four or so
So if anyone wants any or all of them, call round and collect them or let me know by Sunday evening.
Peter T, tel. 287
Update: 26th Jan. Thank you to all who have collected plants. There are seven Leycesteria formosa (pheasant berry) left. They are at the entrance to Church Farm drive, help yourself if you would like any.

Anyone out there finding a surplus of apples on the floor, during these windy days, and fancy turning it into juice or something else…give us a buzz and I’ll happily bring round a pretty useful press and help you to juice them.

Buy, sell or donate surplus homemade / home-grown produce at the Legion
Posted in British Legion, Food Corner, Gardens on Friday August 10, 2018| Leave a Comment »
It’s that time of year where some folk end up with a glut of garden produce and a lack of enthusiasm use them – after all, there are only so many things you can do with courgettes!
So, this year, Parwich Legion has introduced a produce box. The idea is that locals can bring in their surplus home-grown / homemade produce (e.g. potatoes, beans, courgettes, cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, raspberries, jams, chutney, eggs etc.) for others to buy.
You can opt to sell your produce or you can donate the money generated to the ‘Legion Activity Fund’. If you would like to sell it, please have a price in mind when you take it in.
Speak to Gill either at the Legion, or on 390309 for further details.

I’ve seen this pair wandering round the village since Monday and they have just been spotted trying to get to the veg in my garden. I suggest the owner rounds them up because if they’re try it again, they’re likely to be joining it on my plate!
Thank youCheryl
Plant Sale Continues
Posted in Church, Classified adverts, Gardens on Tuesday July 10, 2018| Leave a Comment »
Thank you to all who bought plants last week, just over £50 went to the Carnival & Recreation Committee. This week proceeds will go to Parwich Church. There are still a range of herbaceous plants, shrubs, kitchen garden plants and others, including a large forsythia and a large dogwood which has bright red stems in winter.
If no one is about help yourself to the plants at the gate for Church Farm in Creamery Lane and leave what you think is a fair price in the honesty box. Everything must go.
