Here's hoping everyone has a very successful and slightly drier growing year ahead.

Good luck!!

You're ahead of yourself Paul 

Locked until 2013

Would you like a mod to "sticky" this for you, Paul, as you can't?

[Trillium]

I'd think in 2 more days it would be an idea.

Otherwise, Beam me up, Scotty, has taken on a whole new meaning here.  :blink:

A special thanks to The Moderating Team for getting this set up and going for us.

                  Happy & Successful New Year ahead everyone.

I can't really say that I've done it yet, but I know that I'm going to do nothing on the plot today, indeed for several days.

The worst thing to do with it a the moment is to try and work on it until it's had time to dry out. That could be months yet!

Woke up keen so I got over to the plot to take my new wellies for a spin and dug over a smallish area that was home to squash and turnips - I've been walking over it so it was probably needed.  I also managed a modest harvest of four parsnips to start the new year.

Starting. As I mean to go on!

I walked to the bottom of the garden and looked at our little home veg patch.

Saw the fox slink off through the hedge...

Added a tub full of peelings to the compost heap and enjoyed a splash of sunshine.

I must sort through my seed packets and put them in order of sowing - no rush.

Wonderful fine day today..did a bit of tidying up at the plot...risked a few onion seeds in trays in coldframe.

happy and sucessful new year everyone

The water has subsided so I made a raised bed border. (Sorry about the fuzzy photo, I must've got too excited)

Went to survey the plot-not been down for 5months as ive had a baby and i've been ill.
Plot not too bad, grass is dying which saves me weed-killing it. Pulled out weeds from 3 beds and put in a pile ready for burning. Moved some planks of wood that had found their way into the pond somehow.
Got home and decided to plan out what i'm going to plant this year, and put a shout out on Facebook for horse manure, fence posts and use of a petrol strimmer!

That FaceBook idea sounds a good one!   Here's wishing you success with the plot and a rest!

Now that I have taken (very) early retirement a New Year Resolution is to go to the plot more often and so........
Starting as I mean to go on, went yesterday and took pictures of existing plot and new one. Tidied up a bit, played 'hunt the parsnips' as the top foliage has died away and now I have to guess where they are, repaired damage to brassica nets made by foxes using it as a trampoline (square frame covered in scaffold netting) and began to plan how the new plot would unfold.
Spotted that there has been a manure delivery so plan today is to top up raised beds and begin covering new plot to stop weed growth.

Beautiful sunny day to start the new year 

Went to the plot and finished feeding and mulching the fruit bed, the bluberry bed, and stand alone fruit trees and all the balckberries, tayberries etc on the wires.

Pruned the gooseberries and red currants -- they'll need more taken off but at least I can see their shape again

Went up to my plot yesterday to pick the last of our sprouts and get some kale and parsnips, i would like to start preping the ground again but its to wet, never mind there is plenty of time yet, im getting itchy fingers for something to sow at home aswell.
