New Look Blog for Poole St Food Exchange

Hi - I was talking to Zane last week and he mentioned that he couldn't leave a comment on the website and I realised that when we start producing food this might cause some difficulty - not to mention the fact that I if I got busy and couldn't check the site every day - peoples fresh produce might sit around and become stale etc. So Kate figured out how to create a new site for our Food Exchange that you can comment on. You can get to it on http://www.poolestreetexchange.blogspot.com/ if you would like to comment and/or post some news, click on 'comments' underneath my posting, a form will appear with a box for you to write in, scroll down to where it's says choose an identity and fill in your name where is says Name/URL. This will let people know who has posted the comment, then click on the orange box which says 'publish your comment'. Alternatively you can get to the site http://www.motuekanewsonline.co.nz/ and choose Food Exchange and you will get this page - just follow the above instructions and you should be fine.

We had a great day on Saturday at our 'tea party' and had some new people come along - it was great to meet Mick from 49 and Frank and Linda from No. 73.

I asked people to give me their email ads if
they had one and a phone no. as well as a list of what they had planted - so here goes:

That's all the info I have at the moment - although some of this was gained a couple of months ago so you'll have to post alternative info to update. I guess we also have to remember that nobody will know what is excess until the time comes - but it dosen't hurt to ask.

I hope you all have a great Xmas if I don't see you before then - Cheers Jan
