But I'm sure there's plenty happening.

What are you planning for the following months outside and in?

My broad bean plants are just emerging now in cell trays and will be planted in the polytunnel soon...

Howling winds, ice, snow and torrential rain!

Well, this month we've had ice and snow, howling winds, torrential rain and oh yes, a bit of sun!

So what have you been up ...

January Jobs?

So, its January. What have you all been up to?

What have you been sowing?
What have you been doing in your greenhouse, polytunnel or on your patch?
What's on your list of things to do before February?

Or are you just hunkering down, keeping warm and drooling over seed catalogues!

However, so you won't starve, you're allowed to chose three veg seeds (including seed potatoes, onion/garlic sets etc) t...

Soil Testing

Just curious to know if any forum members regularly test their soil before planting - ie the pH level - or do you just chance it?

If you do test it, what kit do you use for testing? Anything you would particularly recommend?
