Well, it's miserable old January, so not much happening here at chez jots, but I thought I'd get the ball rolling anyway.
The £17 ALDI incinerators's been a wonderful buy and we've been tidying up a lot, of course the ashes will all be spread back onto the beds.. I thought I'd go early on the apple and pear trees and have pruned them already but I'm hanging fire get on the buddleia til mid Feb at least. The herbs have all survived beautifully, but there's little else looking lively aside from the odd poppy and hebe.
Professionally it's also tidy up time, but we're coppicing aplenty and willow planting in a number of schools. We've also just had the go ahead to lead a group of church volunteers to revamp their memorial gardens following a juicy grant. We're also working on a couple of hard landscaping projects in spite of the shitty weather.
All in all, let's get it on for a bountiful 2015.
