Incredible Edible’s Dig For Victory

E-mail Print PDF

 Runner beans and Cosse Violette French Beans

We are in the Huddersfield examiner again:

HERE it comes, the time poet John Keats loved so much.

He called autumn the ‘season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’, and anybody who owns a garden, a greenhouse and/or an allotment knows just what he means.

Incredible Edible, a loose confederation of mucky-nailed, horny-handed sons – and daughters – of toil, is delighted. This is what it’s all about: trugs of beetroot, heavy-boughed apple and plum trees, jam and chutney by the ton, the soil banged off potatoes and garlic, Jerusalem artichoke and onion, bags of shelled peas.

We had a great day at the Emley Show, despite the rain and the mud! We had a stall in the Craft Tent, and gave away over a hundred vegetable and herb plants, as well as packets of seeds. We also met dozens of people with inspiring stories, such as Mr Benatmane:

"This rugby league season, my team, the Hunslet Hawks, has had 3 Papua New Guinea International rugby league players playing for us. Whilst they are here, I have given them a small piece of my garden.  They are growing beans, tomatoes and courgettes.  We are also having a sun flower competition. Their names are Charlie Wabo, Michael Mark and Niko Swain."

Tesco in Holmfirth?

E-mail Print PDF

The Independent published an article on 27th July on the proposal to build a Tesco store on the outskirts of Holmfirth. The planning application consultation period ends on Sunday 9th August. For information on the planning application, see the Keep Holmfirth Special website.

Update:

After having increased the size of the planned store yet again by a further 1,000 square metres, Tesco withdrew the application in late September 2009. Kirklees Planning Department had received over 1,200 letters of objection to the original application, the largest number they have ever received objecting to any planning application.
