🔥Top Tips!🔥GRUBS: Many pests overwinter in the soil as grubs, ready to re-emerge as soon as things warm up again. Help insect-eating birds help you by raking over the soil (when it's not frozen!) to expose the grubs at this lean time of year. Do this several times over the course of the winter.

Top Tip: Support your sprouts

Wind gusts can topple lanky Brussels sprouts. Earth up soil at the base of the stems then tie them to sturdy canes for support. Pick sprouts as they mature from the bottom up.

📸 PHOTO OF THE DAY From Rob Smith, as seen in KG! Rob's waiting for the ground to dry out before planting bulbs (to avoid rot). As Rob says, you can pop some in raised beds or pots (then pop in the ground once it's dried out).

Recycling! Well done, Elaine Halls: "I found a lorry fairing on the verge opposite our house. No one claimed it after a week, so I did, and it has made a lovely little raised bed. Ok, I put ornamentals in, but carrots would have been equally at home. It sits nicely by the polytunnel and chicken run".

What have you recycled for your plot? Photos, if you have them, would be good!
