Hello old friends. This is the most heavenly time of year when a warm dusk draws me to my front garden with a coffee and chocolate biscuit and I potter. Some seeds sown, compost potted, leaves mulched, coffee grounds scattered, dry stems clipped, bulbs re buried and the most favoutite, the palest of pink geraniums propagated.

It’s small. It’s glorious. It draws me in. It’s the perfect allotment substitute when the end of the day draws in.

Maybe I should grow some vegetables?

Any ideas for a north facing pot?

The dawn chorus was the backing track to the podcast recording this morning. Very little news about jobs on the plot this week but Karin and I just sat in the quiet and beauty of the peachy sunrise. β™₯️

Planning for the new year ahead! Sticking to seeds that I have already in the collection to dictate what I’ll grow this year (except I’ll be buying first and second earlies). Trying to value what’s right in front of me and I feel they are calling out to be sown into the ground.

Lots of plans for poly cropping and companion planting, rows and rows of onions and strawberries, potatoes, spinach and kale.

I’ll be dropping spring onions and chives in lots of the beds to hopefully put the slugs off.

Karin and and I are recoding next week’s pod on Sunday so listen in if you’re interest to hear what’s on the menu!

Love to you all and happy sowing!

Gorgeous morning in the drizzle on the plot, just pottering and tidying in the wind. Compost is just dreamy on these beds and the copper how just fluffed them up and took out the weeds that were taking hold between the onions. So pleased I’ve stuck to sowing in lines wide enough to how in between.

Pack home for lunch and very pleased with my Christmas Nails.

Also have lots straight in the ground as an insurance policy. These have been on an indoor windowsill for about three weeks.
