Today I went to Dylways Garden to collect some hollyhock seeds. I came away with a lot more! But my goodness, what a garden! It's lovely. Even at this time of year when gardens, including mine, look terrible. The people in charge are putting in so much work to make this patch a little oasis of loveliness. And now they have a grant, thank goodness, and they are putting it to such good use.


I can only urge people who have the time to go and give a little help. Maybe just an hour a week. And you'll be fed and watered as you work! It's amazing what has been achieved. Community action at work! And something that could be achieved throughout the borough.

Thank you so much to both A and chris.

I appreciate your encouraging and supporting comments .

Yes we have achieved quite alot this summer even with just 4 or people popping in now and then.

It would be really appreciated if more volunteers cdould offer an hour here and there. we are trying to get winter growing up and running, I am looking for help to make a veg patch 9 by 3.5ft if any one can with getting it on its way That would be great.

Yes Anne I love sharing the plants I grow and we sell them cheaply too to raise more funds for next springs

Plants seeds/materials etc.

The funding will be spent to create a lovely seating /eating area and a nice dog Run fo the residents that have dogs, and some nice plants.

So yes even though summer is on its way out we are still out there trying to get a little more

done before the real winter days arrive.

If any one can come along and help out that would be great.

Free plants to all volunteers through out the year, and you shall be fed and watered as always whilst your here.


Hope to hear from some of you even if its for an hour only That hour is precious to us.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
