December is generally a quiet allotment month but it is
always weather dependant. I dug over a couple more beds so I only have one left
to turn. The big projects I wanted to get done haven’t happened as they require
financial input and I have been unemployed since the end of November so haven’t
been able to justify spending money on the ‘plot.
Santa got me a lovely solitary bee nesting house which I am
going to paint and then put up on my shed with my other bug houses, and I have
lots of painting to do for Plot 4 for Momma P. I also got a replacement pruning
saw as some git has nicked mine from my shed.
January will hopefully be more productive. I need to coppice
the dogwood (and now have a new saw to do it with), and I need to start
planning crops and working out when to start sowing. I am aiming for one hour a
week, little and often, to try and have a fruitful year.
