Portishead Horticultural
Society This is a busy time for the gardener - plans have been made, seeds ordered and delivered, ground prepared, now to put everything into action! If you are a vegetable gardener, now is the time to start potatoes into growth. Set up the tubers on end in shallow boxes and place in a light, frost free place until planting time in March or April. By then the "eyes" will be well formed. If the smallest of these shoots is removed, leaving two or three larger sprouts the crop will contain less small, un-usable potatoes. Sowing small seeds can be difficult - if too thick thinning is a chore! Cutting a small hole in the corner of the packet, allowing only a few seeds to escape at a time helps. The pot should be full of compost, but only a light covering for the seeds. Good luck and heavy crops!!

Avoid the rogues. Trading Standards say don't deal with doorstep traders.
Ask friends or relatives to recommend reputable local traders. |
'Scam Wise Southwest' is a campaign by Trading Standards in South West England to help stop people being conned by rogue traders. 'They're just out to get your money. Don't fall for it!' Door Step Sales - protect yourself! - don't open the door to strangers - use a spy-hole or window to check who is calling - use password schemes offered by utility companies and councils - if you're expecting a caller by appointment, use your door chain & check their identification - don't have work done by someone coming uninvited to your door Telephone Scams - say 'no thank you' and hang up if: - the company phones you out of the blue - you're asked to part with money in advance - they use high pressure sales tactics to confuse you Postal Scams - tear it up & recycle if the letter contains: - addresses that are PO Boxes, suite numbers or based abroad - a request to send money - a request for your bank account details. Report it to your bank. - an instruction to call a telephone number beginning 09
If you think you have been a victim of a scam, contact Trading Standards and Consumer Direct, telephone 08454 040506 or log on to www.consumerdirect.gov.uk
