The Jubilee celebration will be taking place in June, all the
details are in this magazine. A thank you to the people who are
organising it.
If you are new to the village, we wish you welcome and hope that

make it your home and be happy there.

St Luke’s Church They say a change is as good as a rest – well, with all the changes we are facing as a Church at the moment, we must be very rested! The major change on the horizon is the retirement of our Team Rector, the Reverend Canon Peter Coates, at the end of June. Following his departure, and in accordance with changes initiated throughout the Diocese, I will be leading the team for our Deanery which extends from Stickney all the way up to South Ormsby. Because of the distances involved, it is likely that I will be moving up to Spilsby within the next few months. The Church of St Luke will still be here and will still be an active part of our community. For me, this is not ‘goodbye’, rather ‘see you shortly’. Our services are not likely to change, although some will be led by members of the community, rather than a Priest. We are excited about the future, not worried. We will be celebrating the Jubilee with our usual Coffee Morning at 10.00am on Thursday 2 June, when we will not only serve tea, coffee and cakes, but also hold a Tabletop sale of New and Nearly New items of Clothing and other goods. We will also be joining the Big Picnic on Saturday 4 June. Services during June in the Cluster (all at 11.15am) 05 June St Luke, Stickney (Service of the Word) 12 June St Helen, Stickford (Service of the Word) 19 June St Luke, Stickney (Holy Communion) 26 June St Helen, Stickford (Holy Communion) Everyone is always welcome to join us.
Gardening Tips for June
June is the month when all the hard work gardeners have put in during the
preceding months begins to bear fruit. Already we are picking radishes. The
lettuce plants are beginning to heart up, the spinach is ready to be picked and was
that a rosy pink tinge I saw on my much cosseted strawberries? Best of all the
early sown potatoes have survived the frosts and are being inspected daily for the
first signs of flowers.
Here then are a few more jobs to be getting on with which will give us hope of a
grand harvest as the summer months pass.
1} We should still be mindful of the need to 'toughen up' some of the indoor raised
crops prior to planting out in their permanent place of growth. This class of plant
includes tomatoes, courgettes, chillies, peppers and squashes. This should be
done in stages, from indoors or unheated greenhouse to well-ventilated cold
frames outdoors, gradually increasing ventilation and keeping an eye on the
weather forecast.
2} Keep an eye on the strawberry patch and be ready to deal with any runners.
You can cut runners off if you don't need any new plants. Alternatively, pin the
runners into pots of compost. I use U shaped pieces of garden wire into three-inch
pots.
3} Keep weeding any beds that are growing onions and garlic to avoid unwanted
competition for nutrients, light and water. In my experience, the weeds always win.
4} Prepare the ground for runner beans, if you have not already done so, by
digging in plenty of well rotted manure and building the frame they will need to
climb by using bamboo canes.
5} Keep sowing quick growing vegetables such as lettuce, radish spring onions
and beetroot. Getting this succession sowing right, seems to me to be the road to
success in the garden.
6} You can continue sowing carrots right through to the end of June. Grow under
an insect-proof mesh to control carrot root fly. Alternatively sow root-fly resistant
varieties such as Flyaway F1 or Resistafly F1.
Finally, a cautionary note (author unknown);
Zucchinis terrific
Like bunnies, prolific!
