1. Plant up Hanging baskets and put up when frosts have passed.
2. Mow lawns regularly: twice a week if necessary.
3. Dead head bedding plants regularly to continue the flowering period.
4. Sow quick growing vegetables, such as lettuce, radish and spring
onions, every two to three weeks for a successful crop.
5. Check throughout the garden for such pests as greenfly, white fly etc.
and treat as necessary. |

We sail on Hartsholme lake, lincoln, most Sundays from 10:00am and meet at the
Post Office Sports and Social Club on the third Thursday of the month at
&:30 - these premises are behind Sobraon Barracks off Burton road.
There is no age limit and we have members in their pre-teens to mid-eighties:
some are newcomers to the hobby and others are very experienced, willing to
offer advice and assistance. Membership fees are reasonable and include
third party liability insurance; the fee is at a reduced rate for junior and
senior citizens. new members are always welcome.
Provided that the boats are electric powered there are no restrictions on
type; some are built from kits, other from plans and vary from scale models to
free-style designs.
There is a two tier landing stage to launch the boats and a parking area
which is allocated to Club members close by.
All you have to do is supply the boat - we'll supply the water.
