	Outdoor plots ready to grow
	Added: 16 May 2012
	Members of Kyles Allotment Group are now planting outdoors as well as indoors. Over the winter, the forest development team terraced an area of land and built outdoor raised beds to complement the indoor ones. After a few Saturday morning volunteer work parties, the beds are now filled with soil and members are busy planting them with parsnips, cauliflower and other vegetables that thrive outdoors. Members also planted a huge communal tattie plot.
