End of Jan 2010

As promised - a video and photo update.

Things done this this month:
  • Bought loads of seeds - and Globe Artichoke
  • Found some plastic box storage shelves lying about in an alley - utilised!
  • Put loads of chicken poo on soil and dug in
  • Planned & marked out new planting areas
  • Put new roof on shed
  • Made a new bed - recycling some bricks
  • Finally bough a wheel-barrow
  • Made a new water collection system / mended water barrel (thank god for 'no-nails')
  • Planted peas (see sticks + small windows)
  • Sowed some Leeks, Peas & Broad Beans in shed



All in all a fairly busy month that was mainly about physical building and digging jobs.

What to look out for in Feb:

  • How the outdoor sown Peas will do (this winter has been quite harsh)
  • Sow some more of the hardier stuff - Broad Beans, Peas & Leeks
  • Have general weed, tidy, patch up & paint of the shed/plot
Here's to Feb 2010 - oh and enjoy the vid!
